Abstract

Using of personal implants for reconstruction of craniofacial harms become more and more important due to the better performance, good fit in the implant area, reduced surgical time and better cosmetic results then traditional mesh. Although creating of such implants is a complex task, but in this article structured process workflow with clearly defined steps was introduced. All of the steps were evaluated with solving of clinical case. In this second article using innovative manufacturing methods based on 3D Reconstruction/Modelling and final result were explored in details.
