This article describes the presurgical fabrication of an inlay/onlay alloplastic cranial implant prosthesis. The technique eliminates the need to modify an artificial stone master cast, thus simplifying the technique and decreasing the laboratory time involved. The final prosthesis replaces lost cranial contours and has a positive seat on the unaltered cranium adjacent to the defect.

D014885	Waxes	A plastic substance deposited by insects or obtained from plants. Waxes are esters of various fatty acids with higher, usually monohydric alcohols. The wax of pharmacy is principally yellow wax (beeswax), the material of which honeycomb is made. It consists chiefly of cerotic acid and myricin and is used in making ointments, cerates, etc. (Dorland, 27th ed)
D019736	Prostheses and Implants	Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
