An alternate impression technique for ocular prostheses

This article describes an alternative two-step ocular prosthesis impression technique that employs two materials of different consistencies. The method is intended to provide better adaptation to underlying tissues, increased mobility of the prosthesis owing to improvements in facial contours, and improved esthetics, as well as offering the patient greater comfort and security. These advantages and this prosthesis' relative ease of fabrication mean it should be considered as the first step in the management of untreated anophthalmic sockets. © 2012 by the American College of Prosthodontists.

Vestibuloplasty by modified kazanjian technique in treatment with dental implants

Dentists are often faced with extensively resorbed mandibular ridges with shallow buccal vestibule and high insertion of the mentalis muscle in relation to the crest of the ridge, causing the displacement of the prosthesis. Vestibuloplasty techniques aim at eliminating the muscle insertions, reposition the mucosa, and increase the area chapeável, giving more stability to the prosthesis. Among the techniques to deepen the vestibule are submucosal vestibuloplasties by secondary epithelialization and with mucosal and skin grafts. We will discuss vestibuloplasty by secondary epithelialization with emphasis on the so-called modified Kazanjian technique. This technique provides an appropriate result and does not require hospitalization, additional surgery at the donor, or prolonged periods without the use of prosthesis. © 2013 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.
