Abstract
A new system of metallic syringes and pluggers specifically designed f or delivery and condensation of particulate bone graft is reported, an d the clinical application in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery is described. This bone graft condensing system has advantages over the c onventional plastic injection syringes in enabling much better bone gr aft condensation as well as easier bone delivery and insertion of the syringe to the depth of the reconstruction crib.
