The treatment of the sequels involving the orbitozygomatic complex is a challenging inside oral and maxillofacial surgery. The surgical correction involves the reestablishment of the zygomatic contour with adjacent bones and the anatomy-functional restoration of ocular globe. With this purpose several techniques and materials can be used, among them it can be cited bone graft and biomaterials. The aim of the present paper is to present a surgical treatment of zygomatic-orbital fracture sequel using autogenous graft of iliac crest and titanium mesh, to improve the repositioning of ocular globe and bone edges. Moreover, discussions on the handling of fractures sequels involving zygomatic-orbital complex will be argued under the form of literature revision.Downloads
