                                CONCLUSION
Different compositions of PMMA-based materials showed different release patterns and quantities of residual monomers. The novel polymer, NextDent C&B MFH, released the lowest amount of monomers. It is therefore advisable to develop specific compositions of PMMA-based materials for different applications in the medical field. Especially for neurosurgical applications an optimized material may prove to be advantageous due to the proximity to the cerebral meninges and the brain.
