Abstract

Cranioplasty for cranial defects can be complex and challenging in composite defects. The intricate 3D structure of the craniofacial skeleton poses various difficulties encountered in surgical reconstruction. The continuous progress in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing design, and fabrication technology has led to a growing array of applications for visual analog scale and 3D printing in craniofacial surgery, encompassing preoperative assessment, the creation of cutting guides, and the development of custom implants and stereolithographic models. Within this review, the authors detail the present and developing applications of virtual surgical planning, 3D bioprinting, augmented reality, and virtual reality in craniofacial reconstruction.
