Abstract
The effectiveness of craniofacial implants in restoring facial function and aesthetics in patients with congenital anomalies, trauma, tumors, or other craniofacial deformities is of interest. Fifty patients aged 18 and above who had received craniofacial implants were assessed over 12 months at three intervals: pre-surgery, 6 months post-surgery and 12 months post-surgery. Clinical evaluations, standardized functional and aesthetic scales and patient-reported outcomes were used to measure implant success. Results showed significant improvements in facial and oral functions, aesthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction and pain reduction. Although minor complications such as implant failure and infection were observed, the overall success rate was high. Thus, the role of craniofacial implants in improving patients' quality of life is shown, while emphasizing the need for long-term research to refine rehabilitation techniques.
