| More Details: | Abstract In addition to anatomical loss, removal of the full or portion of the orbit results in a facial deformity and psychological distress for the patient. This article details a practical case of prosthetic rehabilitation using digital workflow for an orbital deformity caused by post-COVID-19 Mucor mycosis. The main goal of this case study was to create a maxillofacial orbital prosthesis that is well-retained, simple to use, and accurate in terms of appearance. The study addresses the problems involved in fabricating the orbital prosthesis, particularly the unique dimensions and form of the defect, replicating the natural skin tone, and accomplishing retention by the most prudent and patient-friendly approach. Through this article, a digitised algorithm, using photogrammetry technique for facial scan, is suggested for fabricating the prosthesis. |
