title: Restoration of frontal contour with methyl methacrylate.
abstract: Of the various materials currently available for reconstruction of bony frontal deformities, bone cement (methyl methacrylate) has been judged to be superior in its simplicity, reliability, and aesthetic potential. It is uniquely suited to reconstruction of irregular defects of the forehead. Its biological characteristics, advantages, and hazards are presented along with the techniques of its use. Clinical examples illustrate the results obtained with minimal preparation, surgical time, and morbidity.
