Abstract

Summary. The aim of the study is to increase the efficiency of total replacement of the zygomatic bone and arch by developing a new medical technology using shape memory materials. Materials and methods of the study. Research materials – technologies using shape memory materials. Research method – development of an endoprosthesis of the zygomatic bone and arch. Research results and their analysis. Analysis of the research results showed: – the use of endoprostheses made of porous titanium nickelide in accordance with the anatomical features of the affected organ makes it possible to fully restore the lost anatomical and functional capabilities of the facial skull; – coating the endoprosthesis frame with textile titanium nickelide, in addition to improving the conditions for the interaction of the implant with the recipient tissues, allows to fully compensate for the insufficiency of the soft tissue component of the face; – fixing structures with a shape memory effect are easy to use, do not require significant time costs and provide stable fixation of the endoprosthesis with bone structures.
