Abstract :

Eyes are a person�s window to the world. Loss of eye not only leads to loss of eyesight but at the same time it also leads to psychological disablement of the patient. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of such cases includes faication of prosthesis using acrylic resin, silicone or by placing implants. However, not all patients are willing to use implants for maxillofacial rehabilitation. Therefore, a custom made orbital prosthesis serves as an affordable and satisfactory alternative. The present case report presents a simple and effective method of faicating a customised ocular prosthesis.
