Abstract

Titanium is widely used as an implant material. This report describes its use for cranioplasty and malar defects and the technique used to fashion these prostheses in a centre which does not have the facility for producing computer-generated full-size craniofacial models. The use of these prostheses has produced very satisfactory results with minimal morbidity and no complications.
