Evaluation of Using 3D Printed PEEK Facial Implants in Repairing Maxillofacial Deformities

All patients underwent Computed Tomography (CT) scans under the condition of providing a large number of slices (more than 200 slices) per axis, and the thickness of each slice is less than 1 mm with 64-bit resolution, Then the design of the required facial implant was carried out in coordination between the designer and the surgical team. The final form of the facial implant was printed from PolyEther Ether Ketone (PEEK), and then surgical work was performed for patients under general anaesthetic according to the appropriate surgical entrance. The implants were fixed in place using titanium screws
