Orbital exenteration along with hemimaxillectomy for malignant tumor of maxilla usually results in continuous orbital and maxillary defect. A removable maxillofacial prosthesis with adequate retention and stability during functional movement along with good esthetics is the key for successful rehabilitation of such patients. This case report describes a novel and yet costeffective method for retention of silicone orbital prosthesis using acrylic resin base attached to maxillary obturator using pin and socket of an electric plug which results in better retention of both the prosthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
