PEEK chin implant
« on: December 09, 2018, 10:33:25 AM »
Has anyone have any experience with a custom made chin implant made of PEEK? I am looking into having one myself but cannot find anything online about it which is a bit worrying.

Because I need a custom made implant made to restore the lower mandible area that was made to a pointed V after chin/jaw augmentation. A silicone implant would not attach itself securely to the jaw as it is too pointed.
