Reconstruction of cranial and maxillofacial defects is a challenging task. The
standard reconstruction method has been bone grafting. In this review, we shall
describe the biological principles of bone graft healing, as pertinent to
craniofacial reconstruction. Different types and sources of bone grafts will be
discussed, as well as new methods of bone defect reconstruction.
