Interdisciplinary prosthodontics goes beyond our imagination into fields that have a direct effect on our total body health and quality of life. Removal of an eye has a detrimental effect on the psychology of the patient. Enucleation involves removal of the eyeball proper and leads to an enophthalmic socket with a shrunken eye, which has a crippling effect on patient's emotional and social life. Custom-made eye prosthesis simulates the characteristics of the companion eye and helps in restoring the normal facial appearance. Restoration of saccadic eye movements occurring during speech is desirable because this greatly contributes to a normal facial expression. This can be achieved by an orbital implant, which helps in orbital volume replacement and restoration of prosthesis movement and comfort. This article describes prosthodontic rehabilitation of enucleated eye sockets with orbital implants for two patients.
跨学科口腔修复学超越了我们的想象，进入到对我们的整体身体健康和生活质量有直接影响的领域。摘除一只眼睛会对患者的心理产生不利影响。眼球摘除术涉及摘除眼球本身，并导致眼眶凹陷和眼球萎缩，这对患者的情感和社交生活产生严重影响。定制的眼假体模拟健侧眼睛的特征，有助于恢复正常的面部外观。恢复说话时发生的眼球扫视运动是可取的，因为这极大地有助于正常的面部表情。这可以通过眼眶植入物来实现，它有助于眼眶容积的替代以及假体运动和舒适度的恢复。本文描述了两名患者采用眼眶植入物对眼球摘除术后眼眶进行口腔修复重建的情况。
