Abstract: Cranial defect restoration is popular in forensic anthropology,craniofacial surgery,and archaeology.Virtual 3D restoration developed fast and has a broad prospect since computer assisted method applied in cranial facial defect restoration based on CT scans.In recent years,with the continuous development of computer algorithms and software,the 3D cranial facial defect restoration methods have been increasing.The purpose of this paper is to summarize the computer-aided 3D cranial facial defect restoration based on CT scans published in the past two decades and to research the current progress.
