Abstract
Nasal dorsum augmentation is commonly performed using autologous cartilage grafts, also in the Turkish Delight technique. The aim of this study was to describe a modification of the Turkish Delight technique for dorsal augmentation consisting of small hydroxyapatite-calcium carbonate granules (0.5–1 mm) that were wrapped in layers of oxidized cellulose and glued with 1–2-cm3 fibrin sealant and to compare its utility with that of other techniques. Clinically stable and satisfactory results were achieved in the four cases examined. Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) imaging revealed that there was no degradation of the graft up to 2 years after surgery. The use of a modified Turkish Delight method using hydroxyapatite granules promises to be a valuable option for the correction of nasal dorsum deficiency.
