Sumario:Rehabilitation of various maxillofacial defects is a time-consuming, complex, and overwhelming task requiring a patient-specific design and technique. Human face disfigurement involving loss of an eye enhances physical and emotional challenges. A wide range of various treatment modalities are being practiced over the period of time, with the recent one being use of ocular implants. Undoubtedly, an implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a superior outcome; it may not be as practical option considering the cost and availability, especially in economically constrained patients. The present case report describes a simplified technique for fabrication of an adhesive-retained silicone orbital prosthesis.
