Introduction
Microgenia may be corrected through augmentation or osseous (sliding)
genioplasty. Alloplastic implantation is often performed using solid
silicone (Silastic) and high-density porous polyethylene (Medpor).
Infection rates are exceedingly rare, with incidences less than 1%
reported in the literature1,2. We describe a case of
augmentation genioplasty complicated by chronic infection from an
odontogenic source, leading to implant removal several years after the
initial surgery.
