Exenteration of the orbital contents as well as removal of a part of maxilla with an ablative surgery for the removal of a malignant tumor can severely affect a person in terms of function, esthetics and psychological trauma. A well-retained, user-friendly, removable maxillofacial prosthesis is the key to successful prosthetic rehabilitation in such cases. Various retentive techniques include using spectacle frame, conformers, adhesives, osseointegrated implants, magnets or buttons. This paper describes a novel technique for retention of silicone orbital prosthesis using acrylic resin base attached to maxillary obturator with the help of pin and socket of an electric plug wherein the latter is attached to the eye prosthesis with the help of a mechanical undercut. This helps in better retention of both the prostheses.
对于恶性肿瘤切除,行眼眶内容物剜除术以及上颌骨部分切除术会在功能、美观和心理创伤方面对患者造成严重影响。在这类病例中,一个保留良好、使用方便的可摘式颌面修复体是修复成功的关键。各种固位技术包括使用眼镜架、塑形器、黏合剂、骨整合种植体、磁体或纽扣。本文描述了一种新型技术,即利用电插头的插销和插座将丙烯酸树脂基托与上颌阻塞器相连,从而固位硅酮眼眶修复体,其中电插头借助机械倒凹与眼修复体相连。这有助于更好地固位两种修复体。
