ABSTRACT

The repair of craniofacial defects is a challenge for the maxillofacial surgeon. There are a great range of materials for reconstruction, where each has advantages and disadvantages as well as indications for its use. Polymethylmethacrylate is an economic and effective option in the reconstruction of craniofacial defects. The objective of present paper is to conduct a non-comparative, retrospective and descriptive study in the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the "Miguel Enriquez" University Hospital from January, 2006 to December, 2008 including a total of 14 patients operated on to repair a craniofacial defect using polymethylmethacrylate. The great number of patients operated on to repair a craniofacial defect using polymethylmethacrylate included the 16-25 age groups. There was predominance of male sex and a great involvement in white patients. In all the study cases the deformity origin was of traumatic origin; where the traffic accidents were the more prevalent ones, followed by those caused by violence. The predominant diagnosis was that of the IV grade orbitomalar fractures being the orbital floor the more repaired structure. The only complications present were the infection and the subcutaneous collection. The polymethylmethacrylate is an economic and effective material allowing obtaining of excellent esthetic and functional results in the repair of acquired craniofacial defects.
