3D innovations of cranioplasty plate construction: a case report

ABSTRACT

Titanium cranioplasty is one of the well-established and widely used techniques in restoring skull defects for optimal protection to skull internal structures and re-establishing skull conformity. Nowadays, most centres utilise computer-assisted reconstruction for manufacture of titanium plates. In this paper we presented a method for making titanium cranioplasty plates using the 3D innovation through making a 3D model. It can be stated that computer assisted production titanium plate for repairing skull defects is hassle free to patient and prosthetists, efficient and reliable, accurate and reproducible method. Furthermore, the resultant prosthesis constructed is accurately fitting
