The Restoration of an Orbital Defect Using a Magnet Retained Silicone Prosthesis- A Case Report
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract:Rehabilitation of Maxillo-facial defects is a complex task, requiring an individualized approach and modification of existing techniques to suit the needs of each patient. A removable, suitably retained prosthesis that reduces the patient’s discomfort and involves a minimal amount of manual dexterity in its handling is the key to successful prosthetic rehabilitation in such cases. This paper describes a novel technique of the restoration of a complex orbital defect with a removable silicone prosthesis that is retained with the help of magnets incorporated in the prosthesis itself and the spectacle frame. Keywords: Orbital defect, Maxillofacial Prosthesis, Silicone orbital prosthesis, Magnets.
