AB  - AIM: The objective was to do a comparative study and to evaluate the outcome in 
      overall acceptance for correction of residual facial deformity with autogenous 
      graft versus porous polyethylene implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 16 
      patients in the age group of >/=15 years irrespective of sex, caste, religion, and 
      socioeconomic status presenting with signs and symptoms of residual facial 
      deformities and who were declared fit for surgery were included in the study. The 
      study patients were further divided into two groups, of eight each. Deformity 
      correction using autogenous grafts was performed in Group A and using 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) alloplastic implants was performed in Group B. 
      During the follow-up period, patients' and doctor rating of overall acceptance 
      between autogenous and alloplastic (HDPE) bone grafts was recorded on 100-mm 
      visual analog scale (VAS) on the 2(nd) day and 7(th) day and at 3, 6, and 12 
      weeks. RESULTS: The unpaired t-test is used for evaluation. VAS score at all the 
      follow-up periods above stated was significantly higher in alloplastic group than 
      in the autogenous group for both in patients and doctor evaluation. CONCLUSION: 
      From the present study, it can be concluded that porous HDPE implants are an 
      effective alternative to autogenous grafts in accordance of overall acceptance 
      for correction of residual facial deformity when proper case selection, exclusion 
      of negative prognostic factors, and meticulous surgical procedure are followed.
