RESUMO
Introduction: Loss of eye, apart from impaired vision has adetrimental effect on psychosocial wellbeing of an individual.The replacement of the lost eye as soon as possible after thesurgery is necessary to improve social acceptance and qualityof life. Multidisciplinary management and team approachbetween surgeon and prosthodontist are essential in providingaccurate and effective rehabilitation and follow-up care for thepatient.Case report: This case report describes a simplified methodfor the fabrication of a custom silicone orbital prosthesisretained with spectacles for rehabilitation of a residual defectpost exenteration of left eye. It highlights the importance ofindepth analysis & comparison of the defect with the normalcontralateral eye which was used as an anatomical guide forfabrication of an aesthetic prosthesis.Conclusion: Advanced digital technology like rapidprototyping and CAD/CAM have made fabrication ofcomplex prosthesis like orbital prosthesis simpler andquicker. However, these contemporary methods are techniquesensitive, equipment dependent and may not be availableeasily. Thus, a maxillofacial prosthodontist should be able toread the available anatomical guides and use them to fabricatean aesthetically acceptable prosthesis using conventionaltechnique to rehabilitate patients and improving quality of lifeas soon as possible.
RESUMO
Na busca para se chegar a um resultado mais natural na criação de laminados cerâmicos, a grande maioria dos técnicos em prótese faz todo o possível para retratar a anatomia real, o original, com suas linhas, vertentes, sulcos e cristas. Neste artigo será utilizada uma técnica para a caracterização dos dentes anteriores usando a cópia de anatomia. Será de-monstrado passo a passo, de uma forma simples, como retratar todos os pormenores da anatomia deste caso.
In search for ceramic veneers with more natural results, most technicians do everything possible to mimic real and original anatomy, with its lines, sheds, grooves and crests. The present paper presents a technique for the characterization of anterior teeth copying the anatomy. A step-by-step will be presented to illustrate in a simple way the anatomy details of the reported case.
