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 …

Objective: To evaluate the use of endosseous transcutaneous implants to retain removable
facial prostheses for the rehabilitation of orbital defects. Setting: Tertiary referral center …

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 …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Since their introduction, craniofacial implants have been used
in prosthetic rehabilitation of facial defects. The literature, however, indicates marked …

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

BACKGROUND Percutaneous endosseous implants have acquired an important place in
the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with craniofacial defects. The objective of this study …

• 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 …

Purpose: Implant-retained facial prostheses are becoming increasingly sophisticated. We
describe our experience with successful implant placement. Methods: Retrospective case …

This report is based upon 6 years of experience with craniofacial implants used for the
retention of maxillofacial prostheses. A total of 30 patients were treated with 92 implants. Of …

Purpose The aim of the study was to compare the success rates of osseointegration among
irradiated and nonirradiated cases submitted to implant placement for anchorage of orbit …
