title: Skull bone defects. Preliminary results using a new prosthesis.
abstract: The use of a new prosthetic material (110 DTEX F 33 Propylene and Medical Polyester Torlen 165 DTEX) in the reconstruction of bone defects of the skull, even of large dimension, is described by the authors. The material has good biologic tolerance, is already pre-moulded, can be easily adapted to the exact size of the defect and offers remarkable aesthetic and functional results. EEG, X-ray, MRI and CT can be performed without artefact and interferences.
