Fiksacija očesne proteze z enosealnimi vsadki; Fixation of occular prosthesis by enoseal implants

Background. The fixation of facial epitheses represents a serious problem, as usual procedures are deficient and inaccurate. Enoseal implants may improve the fixation quality. Methods. The eye epithesis, needed by a patient for the rehabilitation after a surgical removal of an eye, was fixed by the authors with the aid of enoseal implants, inserted into the frontal and zygomatic bone. Retentive elements were fixed into the implants. Conclusions. The fixation of facial epitheses method represents an efficient way of the epitheses fixation which has got a great advantage over the usual fixation. Izhodišča. Fiksacija obraznih epitez predstavlja resen problem, saj so običajni postopki pomanjkljivi in nenatančni. Enosealni vsadki lahko izboljšajo kakovost pritrditve. Metode. Očesno epitezo, ki jo je bolnik potreboval za rehabilitacijo po kirurški odstranitvi očesa, so avtorji pritrdili s pomočjo enosealnih vsadkov, ki so jih vstavili v frontalno in zogimatično kost. Na vsadke so pritrdili retencijske elemente. Zaključki. Metoda fiksacije obraznih epitez predstavlja učinkovit način pritrditve epitez, ki ima veliko prednosti pred običajno pritrditvijo.
