Abstract
Alloplastic CAM-CAM manufactured implants are regularly used to cover bony defects of the skull in craniomaxillofacial surgery. Regarding unilateral “simple” deficiencies, mirroring procedures can be successfully employed for construction. In cases of complex and bilateral defects resp. syndromic malformations, planning can only be performed according to the esthetic understanding of the engineer-doctor team. Especially in the facial region with its high esthetic impact this situation is less preferable. Therefore a study was planned to allow planning of CAD-CAM implants on the basis of reliable data.
