There is no absolute consensus for the preference of either material, however, in the fronto-orbito region, PEEK is the material of choice for ease of use, esthetics, and time-saving. However, there are no long-term studies on PEEK cranioplasty, and fewer in comparison with Ti implants. Further research is required in this field. No reliable or measurable data was found to determine the QOL, esthetics, cost, or time-saving elements.
