Abstract
Alloplastic materials are used in facial bony reconstruction, but the ideal material for such procedures has yet to be elucidated. 3D printed polymers are a promising new material for use in bony reconstructive procedures. This article documents the novel usage of polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) in an orbital floor reconstruction.

Alloplastic materials are used in facial bony reconstruction, but the ideal material for such procedures has yet to be elucidated. 3D printed polymers are a promising new material for use in bony reconstructive procedures
This is the first case to demonstrate PEKK use in facial bony reconstruction
The patient’s condition improved remarkably after revision surgery with this material, which is encouraging for the future use of 3D printed polymers in reconstruction procedures
Summary
This is the first case to demonstrate PEKK use in facial bony reconstruction. The patient’s condition improved remarkably after revision surgery with this material, which is encouraging for the future use of 3D printed polymers in reconstruction procedures.
