Fig. 5. A. Unsintered-hydroxyapatite/poly-L lactic acid meshes were applied for fixation of the genial osteotomy. B. Thirty-five months after the operation, a diffuse swelling was detected in the left lower chin area (red circle). Initially, partial debridement was performed through an intraoral vestibular incision. However, the symptoms persisted, and a second debridement was carried out. C. The specimens from the second debridement revealed a suppurative lesion with proliferation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, plasma cells, and small capillaries (H&E staining, ×100).
