A Modified Retentive Technique for Fabrication of Finger Prosthesis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Hand is a body part which is important for communication, body language and social contact along with its basic function of grasping. Finger and partial finger amputations are some of the most frequently encountered forms of partial hand loss. For that when surgical reconstruction in patients is not possible or it is contraindicated, unavailable, may be unsuccessful or unaffordable, the prosthetic rehabilitation becomes an alternative option. Maxillofacial prosthesis replaces the lost body parts by using the silicone materials. These prosthesis support the patient physically as well as psychologically to enhance their confidence and social acceptance. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with missing finger using silicone prosthesis
