The etiology of maxillofacial injuries is represented by car accidents, human aggression, and work-related trauma. Trauma to the maxillofacial area requires a complex treatment that involves functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. To restore the functionality of the damaged areas, a correct surgical technique is necessary along with the use of the ideal prostheses for a better reconstruction. Along with the development and improvement of facial fractures osteosynthesis techniques, an attempt was made to identify the right material to complete these surgical methods. We analyze in this paperwork the benefits of polyetheretherketone-based materials in the prosthetics of different facial fractures in comparison with other materials like titanium.
