This is the case summary of a 43 year old female patient who reported to the Department of Prosthodontics & Maxillofacial Prosthetics, with an orbital defect.
The defect was due to the removal of the orbit and a part of the maxilla due to adenoid cystic carcinoma. The patient underwent radiotherapy for one year and no recurrence was observed.
On examination, there was no oro-antral communication. It was then decided to give her an acrylic orbital prosthesis, which gained retention from a spectacle frame.
This prosthesis was fabricated by a new method developed by this Department.
