ABSTRACT

Maxillofacial trauma has always been a challenging area for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Whenever we speak about midface trauma, zygomatic complex is the most common region to treat because of its implications in aesthetic and functional problems that can compromise the nearby eye. In the case of zygomatic complex fractures, most of the time it involves a bone defect in one of its four buttresses, determining the need to reconstruct. Custom made titanium prosthesis offers a lot of advantages in handling and installation, making it easier to adapt in the required region.
