• Osseointegrated implants can be used successfully to support maxillofacial prostheses. Six
patients (aged 37 to 80 years; average age, 68 years) underwent orbital exenteration for …

Osseointegrated percutaneous implants were placed at different sites of the facial skeleton
to improve the retention of facial prostheses. Based on four cases a new implant position in …

Background: Osseointegrated implants have been used for craniofacial prosthetic
reconstruction since 1979. The authors sought to review long-term outcomes of …

PURPOSE:: This study reports on the use of osseointegrated dental implants for anchorage
of orbital prostheses. PATIENTS AND METHODS:: Nine patients were treated with 25 …

Hintergrund: Totale orbitale Exenteratio ist ein radikalchirurgischer Eingriff, der
typischerweise die Entfernung sämtlicher intraorbitaler Strukturen, inkl. Periorbita …

Purpose. A clinical study of 23 craniofacial implants placed in 8 irradiated and nonirradiated
orbital defects was conducted over a 7-year period. Material and methods. Implant-retained …

Osseointegrated implant-fixated prostheses are useful for the reconstruction of the
exenterated orbit. They provide good cosmesis, and are comfortable and light-weighted for …

This retrospective study evaluated the use of percutaneous craniofacial implants for the
prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with a history of orbital exenteration and irradiation for …

The authors present their experience on reconstruction by extraoral bone-anchored implants
technique, showing two patients from a total of 13, treated for orbital reconstruction. They …

Purpose: Extraoral implants provide the prostheses excellent stability and retention.
However, the use of implants in the orbit showed questionable survival rates. Furthermore …
