REVIEW OF MATERIALS USED IN CRANIOPLASTY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cranioplasty is the surgical intervention to repair cranial defects. The aim of this procedure is not only a comestic issue, also the repair of cranial defects gives relief to psychological drawbacks and increase the social performances. Although many different materials had been described, there is still no consensus about the best material, and ongoing researchs on both biological and nonbiologic substitutions continue aiming to develop the ideal reconstruction material in cranioplasty. In this article, we review the materials used in cranioplasty.
