Abstract

The eye is a vital organ, not only for vision but also as an important component of facial expression. Loss of an eye can have a crippling effect on the psychology of the patient. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of such cases includes the fabrication of a prosthesis using acrylic resin, silicone, and implants. However, not all patients are willing to use implants due to their cost. Therefore, a custom-made orbital prosthesis can be a good alternative. Here, we present a case of a custom-made orbital acrylic prosthesis with good esthetics, retention, and fit. The suggested corrections include adding some punctuation marks, correcting the use of "even though," and making sure the text is clear and easy to read.
