Customized ocular prosthesis fabrication using graphic grid: A case report

The loss of the facial structures for an individual can have a physical, social and psychological impact. Maxillofacial prostheses that restore and replace stomatognathic and associated facial structures with artificial substitutes aim to improve the patient aesthetics, restore and maintain health of the remaining structures and consequently provide physical and mental well being. Amongst all the maxillofacial defects, eye defects require keen attention. As it is rightly said that” Eyes speak louder than words.” Therefore prosthetic rehabilitation of such cases should be done. Treatment includes implants and acrylic eye prosthesis. Due to economic factors implant may not be advisable in all patients. A custom-made ocular prosthesis is a good alternative.
