Due to various reasons, a person who is missing one eye may experience psychological as well excruciating suffering. Enucleation and evisceration surgery are the most often used methods remove sick or injured eye. The patient fitted with bespoke implant into orbital tissues after surgeon removes In order keep socket from looking hollow depressed, this replaces volume. Once has stabilized, prost...

The placement of a motility coupling post (MCP) to integrate the prosthesis with a porous orbital implant may enhance prosthetic motility following enucleation. Previously, MCP placement has required a second operation usually at least 6 months following enucleation. We developed a technique to place an MCP reliably and safely into a porous orbital implant at the time of enucleation. Eligibilit...

Maxillofacial defects compromise appearance and function making individuals incapable of leading a relatively normal life. It is always not possible to rehabilitate all these using plastic surgery. Although remarkable advancements have evolved in this field, the patient’s financial constraints make prosthodontist think about basic concepts techniques fabrication prostheses. Hence an acceptable ...

Facial prostheses aim to restore the appearance, contours, and esthetics of the face while consequently enhancing patients' self-esteem and reintegration into social life. Restoring unilateral missing ocular and orbital tissues is a challenging task that requires great skill from the clinician (anaplastologist) to accurately mimic the opposing natural tissues. Bilateral defects present addition...

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Once the maxilla and orbit are involved, surgical resection debridement of necrosed areas can result in extensive defects .in prosthetic rehabilitation such cases major challenge replacement misssing soft hard tissues following resection. Hence acceptable becomes a to maxillofacial prosthodontist...

Congenital absence or loss of the ocular globe during childhood causes psycho-social and cosmetic disorders and compromise the normal development of the orbital region. The literature relating to congenital or acquired etiology, due to trauma or disease, demonstrates the necessity of prevention and early detection in order to minimize the sequelae and disturbances in orbital growth. Installatio...

Virtual planning is ideally suited for maxillofacial operations as it allows the surgeon to assess bony and critical neurovascular structures enables him plan osteotomies fracture reductions. This study aims propose use of titanium-based patient-specific implants (PSI), along with virtual surgical advantages complications in a case orbital reconstruction. A three-dimensional model skull was gen...
