Can A Skull Implant Become Replaced Over Time By Bone?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Can I get a skull implant where bone grows into it and replaces the implant material?

A:There is no skull or face implant material in which bone will grow into or over that becomes integrated into one’s tissue. It is a great augmentation goal but for now that remains an elusive biologic outcome.
