摘要: Recent advances in Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing techniques (CAD/CAM) have facilitated the rapid precise construction of customized implants used for craniofacial reconstruction. Data patients' trauma, acquired through Topographies (CT), provide sufficient information with regard to defect contour profile, thus allowing a thorough preoperative evaluation whilst ensuring excellent implant precision. During selection, however, suitable material specific mechanical aspects be considered. This investigation aims assess strength, shock resistance critical deflection cranial manufactured two commonly materials, Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Ti6Al4V. Even though strength properties Ti-alloys are far superior those PMMA, there several that may act advantage e.g., it is known discontinuities elastic modulus adjoined parts (bone-implant) lead bone resorption loosening fixation over time.The design was same both cases direct comparison behavior various loads. Finite Element Methods (FEM) assisted procedures were employed, providing valuable insight neurocranial protection granted by these implants.
