Description
Abstract
Rehabilitation of an orbital defect is a challenging task, which requires a multidisciplinary approach. The aesthetic and psychosocial impairment associated with ocular defects may cause significant physical and emotional problems. Various treatment modalities are available such as the conventional ocular prosthesis retained by bony and soft tissue undercuts, implant-supported orbital prosthesis etc. Although implant-supported orbital prosthesis encompasses a superior outcome, it may not be advisable in all patients due to economic factors. The present article describes a simplified technique for the fabrication of an interim customized ocular prosthesis that rehabilitates the patient with ideal fit and aesthetics.
