Fabrication of Ocular Prosthesis for Phthisis Bulbi by an Innovative Impression-Less Technique - A Case Report

The Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Phthisis Bulbi Using Semi-customized Ocular Prosthesis: A Technical Note

Mutilation in the facial region may significantly affect the self-image and personality of individuals. Prosthetic rehabilitation of facial defects could increase the quality of life, thereby encouraging the patients to build up their self-confidence to return to normal social life. Acceptable cosmetic results are often obtained through facial prosthesis. Recovery after the loss of an eye requi...

Rehabilitation of Phthisis Bulbi: A Case Report

fabrication of a cranial prosthesis combined with an ocular prosthesis using rapid prototyping: a case report

rapid prototyping (rp) is a technique of manufacturing parts by the additive layer manufacturing technology; where, a three-dimensional (3d) model created in a computer aided design (cad) system is sectioned into 2d profiles, which are further constructed by rp layer by layer. its use is not limited to industrial or engineering fields and has extended to the medical field for the manufacturing ...

a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis: a case report

rehabilitation of facial defects is a complex task, requiring an individualized design of the technique for each patient. the disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. various treatment modalities are available, one of which is the use of implants. although implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a superior outcome, it may not b...

Modified Impression Technique for Fabrication of a Custom Made Ocular Prosthesis

Making an impression of the anophthalmic socket to facilitate the design of a custom made ocular prosthesis is a common practice. Different impression techniques can be used for its fabrication. The modified impression technique described here requires minimum laboratory procedures as the preliminary impression, secondary impression and wax trial can be done as a single stage procedure.
