An Alternative Approach to Combine Orbital Prosthesis and Obturator: A Case Report
This report describes a different approach for diminishing the movements of orbital prosthesis during mimic movements and chewing function. Mechanical devices such as magnets are used to enhance the retention in case lack of the implants. However rigid fixation of obturator and orbital prosthesis can result in movements of the orbital prosthesis during mastication. In this case obturator and or...
متن کاملAn alternative approach to fabricating a meatus obturator prosthesis.
We describe the fabrication of a meatus obturator prosthesis made with visible light-cured (VLC) resin. The fabrication technique is relatively easy and saves time by eliminating some laboratory procedures for both the patient and the practitioner. The meatus obturator results in a more stable maxillary prosthesis and permits acceptable speech for patients using it.
متن کاملEffectiveness of Maxillary Obturator Prosthesis in Maxilectomee- a Case Report
INTRODUCTION Maxillectomy is the surgical removal of part or the entire maxillary bone. It is indestined for tumors of the hard palate, nose, maxillary sinus or other tumors that have grown to involve the maxilla. Speech intelligibility and swallowing difficulties are the major concerns after maxillectomy surgery. These are the after effects of inappropriate coupling between the oral and nasal ...
متن کاملMinimizing movement of an orbital prosthesis retained by an obturator prosthesis.
This article describes a procedure in which an obturator with an integrated spring-loaded rewinding device retains an orbital prosthesis. This system minimizes movement of the orbital prosthesis during mastication and thus prevents adhesive failure.
متن کاملImplant Retained Orbital Prosthesis – Case Report
Orbital defects after tumor resection (exenteration of orbital content) have been traditionally reconstructed with adhesive-retained craniofacial prostheses, also known as epistheses. The breakthrough in rehabilitation of facial defects with implant-retained prostheses has come with development of modern silicones (vynilpolysiloxane) and bone anchorage called osseointegration. Craniofacial impl...
