The osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP).
The osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), although described over 40 years ago, remains the keratoprosthesis of choice for end-stage corneal blindness not amenable to penetrating keratoplasty. It is particularly resilient to a hostile environment such as the dry keratinized eye resulting from severe Stevens-Johnson syndrome, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, trachoma, and chemical injury. Its rigi...
متن کاملA Tooth for an Eye : The Osteo - Odonto - Keratoprosthesis ( OOKP ) - A Review
Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) or ‘Tooth-in-eye surgery’, the original technique was described by Benedetto Strampelli nearly fifty years ago, using the patient’s own tooth root and alveolar bone as vital support to an optical cylinder, for patients with the most severe type of corneal and ocular surface diseases, for whom other treatments would not be useful. The cornea is replaced by a ...
متن کاملOsteo-Odonto Keratoprosthesis (OOKP): A Review of Surgical Techniques and Clinical Outcomes
Osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a multi-staged procedure for the treatment of blindness due to bilateral severe endstage corneal disease.

This procedure can be performed in eyes with bone dry and ...
متن کامل4118 Biological corneal exchange—an alternative to penetrating keratoplasty and keratoprosthesis?
m Our previous studies demonstrated functional differentiatedcells and collagen synthesis in the pores of an ePrFE implant. This study quantifies and identities collagen types synthesized in this polymer. Methods: Rabbit eyes were implanted with a 6mm diameter disc of an ePTFE disc (Impra@,) (0.2”” thick, SO/r” pore :size with a mean porosity of 88*4% and the channels were perpendicular to the ...
