    • Skull defects usually create aesthetic and functional disturbances to the patient. These defects are currently reconstructed by using computer‐aided design and manufacturing processes. Classification of skull defects becomes important in discussing the complexity of reconstruction in clinical practice or comparing clinical results in scientific articles.
