Purpose: This article presents a new treatment protocol in maxillofacial prosthodontics.
Materials And Methods: A case report of a patient suffering from an orbital defect after tumor resection is presented. To explain the treatment protocol, the procedure of fabricating an implant-retained orbital prosthesis for this patient is discussed.
Results: After tumor resection, implants were placed and a prosthesis was made based on both a CT scan and computer-supported technology.
Conclusion: The integration of several existing techniques in and outside the field of maxillofacial prosthodontics led to a treatment protocol that was shown to be beneficial in the presented case and others.

Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implantitis, affect up to 47% of dental implant recipients, primarily due to biofilm formation. Current decontamination methods vary in efficacy, prompting interest in polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for their antimicrobial and protein-specific cleaning properties. This study evaluated the efficacy of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in decontaminating titanium dental implants by removing proteinaceous pellicle layers and resisting recontamination.
