Prosthodontic rehabilitation of an ocular defect: A case report.

Abstract

Physical defects which deform the functional activity and appearance that restrict a human-being to lead a normal life, usually attract that person to go under a procedure which can provide a normal life. The disorders involving eye and the orbit that needs surgical interventions that ultimately results in ocular defect, if immediate attention is given after the conservative surgery of the eye or the socket and the conformers are provided still the contractures are seen. The conformers are not given in maximum cases, which causes delayed reduction of space for fabricating ocular prosthesis. An ocular prosthesis is a exact duplication of human anatomical eye by the use of prosthetic materials to generate the illusion of exact healthy normal eye and peripheral tissues. That is why much focus is given to the precise duplication of contour, size and colour that can provide realistic and symmetrical eye to the patients.
