Cranial implant modification.

This technique combines the heat-cured resin system with an autopolymerizing resin system (Cranioplast). Cranioplast has been used since the early 1950s. Clinical trials have shown that it evoked the least severe inflammatory response when compared with other autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate systems. The advantage inherent in this technique is the ability to go to the operating room with a prefabricated heat-cured acrylic resin prosthesis and alter the implant with Cranioplast for excellent adaptation to the defect. The technique provides a well-fitting cranial implant prosthesis with good cosmetic results.
