Movement of Prosthesis after Orbital Implants

Problem of orbital implants after enucleation.

GREAT efforts have been made by ophthalmologists in the last 10 years to design an implant conveying good prosthetic mobility, to offset in part the tragic result of excision. The immediate success of the implants aroused enthusiasm, but subsequent complications, including suppuration and expulsion, have led to further modifications. So frequent were these disappointments in spite of changes in...

Minimizing 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.

Rehabilitation of orbital cavity after orbital exenteration using polymethyl methacrylate orbital prosthesis

Squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelid is the second most common malignant neoplasm of the eye with the incidence of 0.09 and 2.42 cases/100 000 people. Orbital invasion is a rare complication but, if recognized early, can be treated effectively with exenteration. Although with advancements in technology such as computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, material science, and retent...
