Main Methods:

  • Surgical implantation of craniofacial prostheses.
  • Prosthetic rehabilitation following osseointegration.
  • Analysis of individual implant success rates.
  • Evaluation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Main Results:

  • Craniofacial implants are now integral to head and neck reconstruction.
  • High individual implant success rates are achievable.
  • Hyperbaric oxygen may play a role in treatment outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Craniofacial osseointegration provides significant reconstructive opportunities.
  • Multidisciplinary clinical-research environments are crucial for optimal patient care.
  • Further research is needed to explore future developments in the field.
