CRANIOPLASTY WITH CUSTOM MADE HEAT POLYMERIZED ACRYLIC RESIN PROSTHESIS

Cranial defects often occur due to trauma. The treatment of such defects is a challenge to the skill and knowledge of the practitioner. This article presents one such case, where a 26-year-old male had suffered an extensive loss of the right cranium following a road traffic accident. The patient required rehabilitation of the right fronto-temporo-parietal cranial anatomy and was managed using a custom made heat-cured polymerized acrylic resin prosthesis.
