Unlabelled: The conservative prosthodontic construction of an ocular prosthesis utilizing our novel threaded iris fabrication technique required high time and prosthodontic resource inputs and produced a lifelike aesthetic result.
Abstract: Patients with ocular defects frequently present with significant local anatomical deficiencies and complex histories and require extensive time and resource inputs to treat. This case report describes the conservative management of an ocular defect completed in a postgraduate prosthodontics clinical residency program utilizing a novel threaded iris fabrication technique.
Purpose: To compare abutment screw loosening in 24-degree angulation-correcting and straight implants subjected to nonaxial cyclic loading.
Materials And Methods: Seven external connection 24-degree angulation-correcting implants (AI) and seven external connection straight implants (SI) were embedded in acrylic resin within a brass housing. A hemispherical titanium fatigue abutment was secured to each implant using a titanium abutment screw tightened to 32 Ncm.
