Abstract:

Sensory organs play a significant role in daily lives. Mutilation of a portion of a face can cause a profound impact on the selfimage and personality of an individual. The most terrible yet most commonly occurring sensory organ loss is that of the eyes. Severe physical and psychological distress occurs due to disfigurement caused by loss of eye. Ocular prosthesis is the only mode of rehabilitation for the missing eye. Presence of ocular prosthesis is quite essential to maintain the balance and esthetics of the face. The goal of any ocular rehabilitation prosthetic procedure is to enable acceptance of the patient in the society with normal appearance and reasonable mobility of the prosthetic eye; this canâ??t be achieved unless we make an accurate impression. Although it does not provide vision, it improves the esthetics of the face. Thus, in this clinical poster we will be presenting different impression techniques used for fabricating an ocular prosthesis, where we will be displaying conventional as well as most recent innovative techniques.
