Cranial defects are repaired for esthetics, functional, morphological and psychological benefit of the affected patients. Purpose of a cranioplast is to prevent trauma to brain tissue, improve the cranial contour, symmetry and esthetics along with pain reduction. This technique describes the innovative use of a multicamera 3D face scanning software for obtaining a 3D face model of a road traffic accident patient for cranioplast fabrication. Advantage of this technique is that it is quick and easy and allows complete face scan under 10 s.
