| Abstract: | The use of alloplastic implants for cranial reconstruction has a long history with numerous materials used with varying degrees of success. Currently, three different alloplastic alternatives are widely used, methymethacrylate, hydroxyapatite, and metal. Each has its own advantages and indications in contemporary cranioplasty. When employed with good surgical technique and in the appropriate patient, each material can have good clinical outcomes. |
