Rehabilitation of an Eviscerated Patient with an Acrylic Custom Made Scleral Shell Prosthesis-A Case Report
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract:Eyes are generally the first features of the face to be noticed, playing a significant role in our daily lives. The most grievous yet, unfortunately, the most commonly occurring loss out of all the sensory organs is that of an eye. Such an adversity may have a prodigious emotional and psychological impact on the patient with loss of function. Artificial replacement of the lost eye is done with an ocular prosthesis. The prosthesis will improve patient’s esthetics, restore and maintain health of these structures, and thereby provide physical and mental wellbeing. Accurate impression to duplicate the contours of the defect site is required for the fabrication of the custom made prosthesis. In the following case report, a custom made scleral shell prosthesis was fabricated for the patient. Keywords: Orbital defect, maxillofacial prosthesis, Acrylic, Ocular prosthesis.
