ALLAIS, Marvis; ABREU, Albany  and  MAURETTE, Paul E.. Foreign body reaction due to an injected biopolymer: presentation of a clinical case. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.1, pp.23-26. ISSN 2173-9161.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2013.01.003.

Biopolymers are used as a filling material, but their use is not approved for cosmetic purposes. We present the first case of a patient with an intraoral lesion due to foreign body reaction by biopolymers, where the definitive diagnosis was obtained with the help of the histopathological study, and was then treated by surgical removal. This article presents not only type of inflammatory reaction of the use of such materials, but also their migratory capacity.

Keywords : Foreign-body reaction; Plastic surgery; Biopolymer.
