Rehabilitation of Phthisis Bulbi using Thick Scleral Shell Prosthesis
The eyes are a vital organ that not only allows us to see but also allows us to express ourselves. The loss of an eye has a debilitating effect on a patient’s mentality. Due to injuries, pathology, or tumor, a natural eye is surgically removed through enucleation, evisceration, or exenteration. Impl...

description | The eyes are a vital organ that not only allows us to see but also allows us to express ourselves. The loss of an eye has a debilitating effect on a patient’s mentality. Due to injuries, pathology, or tumor, a natural eye is surgically removed through enucleation, evisceration, or exenteration. Implant-retained and acrylic eye prosthesis is used by a maxillofacial prosthodontist to restore the patient’s quality of life in such rehabilitation circumstances. A removable acrylic prosthesis is recommended over an implant-retained prosthesis due to various reasons such as remaining orbital rim, comorbidity associated with implant placement, healing time, and cost considerations. We present an instance of a bespoke acrylic scleral shell prosthesis that demonstrated outstanding retention and esthetics. |
