Abstract

This clinical report shows the use of extraoral implants to rehabilitate an ocular defect, focusing the surgical and prosthetic procedures. Using local anesthesia and a surgical template obtained from the diagnostic wax ocular pattern, two cylinder dental implants were strategically placed in the lateral aspect of the right infraorbital region. Four months later, an acrylic framework including two spherical magnets was made using plastic UCLA abutments. After casting laboratory steps, a customized silicon prosthetic appliance was fabricated from the diagnostic wax ocular pattern and attached to the Co-Cr framework, observing its profile and seating aspects. The patient was satisfied with the treatment result, due to the retention, esthetics, and adhesive-free method to anchor his ocular prostheses.
