Objective: This study aims to discuss the different treatment modalities of frontal bone fractures presented
in a series of clinical cases. Case report: Three patients of different genders and with different trauma etiologies were subjected to cranioplasty due to fractures of the external and internal cortical of the frontal bone (besides the fixation of other facial fractures, in two of the cases). This series presents treatments using a custom polymethylmethacrylate prosthesis designed on a prototype, the reconstruction of the frontal vault from titanium meshes, and bone reduction with fixation using plates and screws. In all cases presented, the aesthetic and functional results were satisfactory. Final Considerations: The study discussions allow understanding that planning should be performed individually and the decision for any technique will depend on the severity and extent of the fracture. Therefore, a careful assessment of the case in question is required.
