Is PMMA Bone Cement A Good Material For Skull Augmentation?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I was wondering about the actual material Dr. Eppley uses for skull augmentation, I thought it said on the website that he was injecting a type of bone cement  – PMMA – can he do something like this or is he only doing the harder or pre-formed implants now then? 

A: The use of bone cement has been abandoned due to subpar results and the high rate of irregularities/irregularities. Custom skull implants offer far superior results with a low risk of contour issues.
