Recommendations for post-adaption care of an ocular prosthesis: A review.

Microbiological analysis of conjunctival secretion in anophthalmic cavity, contralateral eye and ocular prosthesis of patients with maxillofacial abnormalities

“…; Bonaque‐González et al . ). The accumulation of conjunctival secretion in the anophthalmic cavity, besides generating great aesthetic dissatisfaction for the patient, causes discomfort, interferes in the mobility of the prosthesis, and causes the loss of surface shine (Raizada and Rani ; Fernandes et al .…”

“…; Bonaque‐González et al . ). Some evidence suggests that the surface roughness of ocular prosthesis can influence interactions with micro‐organisms, with greater prejudicial consequences, such as the establishment of biofilm bacteria, which could lead to infections (Goiato et al .…”

“…; Bonaque‐González et al . ). Thus, it becomes extremely important to evaluate and compare the micro‐organisms present on the acrylic surfaces of ocular prostheses, as well as the microbiota of the anophthalmic cavity and contralateral eye of wearers of the same, so that subsequent control measures promote the homeostatic maintenance of the ocular region.…”

Effect of photopolymerized glaze application on bacterial adhesion on ocular acrylic resin surfaces submitted to accelerated ageing

“…Knowing that surface roughness favours the accumulation of impurities and bacteria by providing favourable sites for colonization due to irregularities on polymer surface, the polishing of the material is essential and can be accomplished by means of mechanical or chemical devices, in order to provide greater smoothness (Bonaque-Gonz alez et al 2015). Therefore, the literature has highlighted the use of glaze as a surface polish, guaranteeing smoothness of ceramic (Haralur 2012) and interim AR restorations (Rutkunas et al 2010).…”

Influência de dois protocolos de higiene para usuários de prótese ocular na condição de saúde dos tecidos, microbiota da cavidade anoftálmica e nível de satisfação dos pacientes

“…Com o objetivo de instituir um possível protocolo de higiene, o presente estudo avaliou dois protocolos utilizando sabonete neutro, por ser um agente de limpeza comumente empregado (Parr;Goldman;Rahn, 1983;Raizada e Rani, 2007;Osborn;Hetler, 2010;Koralakunte;Basavapura;Budihal, 2014;Bonaque-González;Amigóa;Rodríguez-Luna 2015;Cafiero-Chin et al 2015;Shan et al 2015;Shashidhar;Thombre, 2015;Paranhos et al, 2007) e por não trazer nenhum risco aos pacientes, além de ser bem acessível pelo baixo custo. Além disso, por tratar-se de próteses confeccionadas em resina acrílica, o uso de substâncias solventes e abrasivas deve ser contra-indicado (Parr;Goldman;Rahn, 1983).…”
