Abstract

Eye defects constitute a major portion of maxillofacial defects which require prosthetic correction for esthetic and social rehabilitation of the afflicted patient. Treatment modalities include implant and acrylic prosthesis. Although implant eye prosthesis offer superior results, they may not be economically viable for all patients. A custom made ocular acrylic prosthesis is a good alternative. A case report of patient with acquired ocular defect who was treated with a custom made ocular acrylic prosthesis which had enhanced fit, retention and facial esthetics to a greater degree.

Abstract

The purpose of this case presentation is to review the clinical procedures involved in intentional replantation of a maxillary central incisor following a complicated crown-ischolar_main fracture. The treatment of complicated crown-ischolar_main fractures is often compromised by a fracture below the gingival margin and/or bone. This makes isolation difficult and comprises the hermetic seal that is critical for a successful endodontic treatment. Orthodontic or surgical extrusion with gingivectomy has been suggested; however, these approaches can be expensive, time-consuming, esthetically compromising, and unsatisfactory when the fracture line is deep below the gingiva. Our presentation will discuss the treatment options for such cases and introduce the concept of intentional replantation as an option to manage oblique crown-ischolar_main fractures in permanent anterior teeth.
