Orbital prosthesis with a magnetically retained ocular component supported by osseointegrated implants. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Positioning of the ocular component within an orbital prosthesis must simulate conversational gaze. Using osseointegrated implants and an associated superstructure, a fixed reference point can be established for positioning an ocular prosthesis. This method can simplify the laboratory procedure and obviate the need for ocular component repositioning in replacement prostheses. This article describes the fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with a magnetically retained ocular section supported by osseointegrated implants.
