Abstract

Construction of an ocular or eye prosthesis can be challenging, as it is a cosmetic device. It needs good communication between dentists and maxillofacial technicians. The construction process normally requires multiple appointments, which involve at least four visits starting with ocular impression to insertion of the prosthesis. This article will outline the clinical step and propose a clinical technique to reduce the number of appointments from four to three appointments, which would benefit both the patient and practitioner.
