Abstract

Every child has a fundamental right to his total health. Enucleation or evisceration of an eye can cause poor self-image especially in growing children. Dentists in general and Prosthodontists in particular play a major role in rehabilitation of the loss of eye in growing children by fabrication of various forms of eye prosthesis. It is paramount that the prosthesis helps in in the normal growth and development of the socket with acceptable esthetics and reasonable motility. This then contributes to the symmetrical development of the face and the overall health of the child. The objective of this clinical report is to describe the management and 5 year follow up of an infant with an anophthalmic socket rehabilitated with a custom ocular prosthesis.
