Tooth Socket
Periodontal Dressings
Dry Socket
A condition sometimes occurring after tooth extraction, particularly after traumatic extraction, resulting in a dry appearance of the exposed bone in the socket, due to disintegration or loss of the blood clot. It is basically a focal osteomyelitis without suppuration and is accompanied by severe pain (alveolalgia) and foul odor. (Dorland, 28th ed)

Tooth Root
The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p690)
Tooth Crown
The upper part of the tooth, which joins the lower part of the tooth (TOOTH ROOT) at the cervix (TOOTH CERVIX) at a line called the cementoenamel junction. The entire surface of the crown is covered with enamel which is thicker at the extremity and becomes progressively thinner toward the cervix. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p216)
Eye, Artificial
A ready-made or custom-made prosthesis of glass or plastic shaped and colored to resemble the anterior portion of a normal eye and used for cosmetic reasons. It is attached to the anterior portion of an orbital implant (ORBITAL IMPLANTS) which is placed in the socket of an enucleated or eviscerated eye. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
Tooth Eruption
Structural variation of type XII collagen at its carboxyl-terminal NC1 domain generated by tissue-specific alternative splicing. (1/70)
This paper reports the identification of two structural variations in the NC1 domain of rat and mouse type XII collagen. The long NC1 domain encoding 74 amino acids showed homology to chicken type XII and XIV collagens. The short NC1 domain was composed of 19 amino acids. Through genomic DNA analyses, two alternative exons were identified, each of which contained the variable NC1 sequence. With the amino-terminal NC3 splicing alternatives, we propose here a new descriptive nomenclature: types XIIA-1 and XIIB-1 which include a long NC1 sequence encoded by exon 1 (from the 3'-end), and types XIIA-2 and XIIB-2 which include a short NC1 sequence encoded by exon 2. Types XIIA-1 and XIIB-1, the predominant transcripts in 15-day old mouse embryos, showed decreased expression in 17-day old embryos when type XIIB-2 expression was sustained at constant levels. In adult mice, type XIIB-1 associates with ligament and tendon, whereas type XIIB-2 is expressed in various other tissues. The long NC1 domain contains an extended acidic region (pI = 3.4) followed by a terminal basic region (pI = 13.8). Because the short NC1 domain lacks these features, structural variations in the type XII collagen NC1 domain suggests different functional roles in a tissue-specific fashion. (+info)Bone wound healing after maxillary molar extraction in ovariectomized aged rats: quantitative backscattered electron image analysis. (2/70)
The processes of bone wound healing after maxillary molar extraction in ovariectomized aged rats were examined by means of quantitative backscattered electron image analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. Six-month-old female rats were either sham-operated or underwent bilateral ovariectomy (OVX), and 60 days postoperatively, the maxillary first molars were extracted. On post-extraction days 7, 30, and 60, the dissected and resin-embedded maxillae were micromilled in the transverse direction through the extracted alveolar sockets, and new bone formation on the buccal maxillary bone surface and within the extracted alveolar sockets was examined. In both sham-operated control and OVX rats, new bone formation was recognized on the buccal bone surface, as well as within the extracted sockets, and increased daily through to day 60. In comparison to sham-operated controls, new bone formation in OVX rats was significantly decreased both on the buccal bone surface and within the extracted sockets. Our results suggest that bone wound healing by new bone formation after maxillary molar extraction is significantly decreased in OVX-induced osteoporosis. (+info)Transplantation of labeled periodontal ligament cells promotes regeneration of alveolar bone. (3/70)
Regeneration of damaged periodontal tissues is mediated by periodontal cells, but a major sub-population comprises highly differentiated cells that do not renew. To overcome the loss of specialized cell types caused by disease, various therapeutic approaches including cell transplants have been developed to promote cell re-population in periodontal tissues. As previous transplantation studies used unlabeled cells, that are indistinguishable from host cells, it has been difficult to assess the contributions of transplanted cells to the healing processes. To track the fate and differentiation of rat periodontal cells transplanted into periodontal wounds, we used collagen-coated fluorescent beads as a permanent endocytosed marker, or cells constitutively expressing beta-galactosidase. We assessed osteogenic cell differentiation with immunohistochemical staining for osteopontin and bone sialoprotein. Cells were transplanted into periodontal wounds created in Sprague--Dawley male rats that are null for beta-galactosidase. Defects were allowed to heal spontaneously (controls), or were closed with collagen implants mixed with beta-galactosidase-positive (Lac-Z) periodontal cells, or closed with collagen implants mixed with periodontal cells loaded with fluorescent beads. Animals were killed at 1 and 2 weeks after surgery and tissues were prepared for morphometric assessment and immunostaining for osteopontin (OPN) and bone sialoprotein (BSP). Transplanted cells were easily distinguished by fluorescent beads or by beta-galactosidase-positive expression and were distributed throughout the regenerating periodontal ligament (PL) and alveolar bone. At 1 week after wounding, animals treated with beta-galactosidase-positive cells exhibited a slightly higher percentage of labeled cells in the PL compared with the fluorescent bead-labeled cell implant group (2% vs. 1% respectively; P > 0.2). At Week 2 percentages of labeled cells were slightly increased in the regenerating PL (approximately 3% for both groups, P > 0.2). In regenerating alveolar bone at 1 week, animals that were treated with beta-galactosidase-positive cells and fluorescent bead-loaded cells exhibited approximately 30% and 25% of labeled cells respectively. At 2 weeks after wounding there was an increase in the percentage of transplanted beta-galactosidase-positive cells (approximately 39% at week 2; P < 0.05), but not of transplanted cells with fluorescent beads (approximately 25% at week 2). In sites with transplanted cells there were higher percentages of OPN positive and BSP positive cells in nascent bone and more newly formed bone than in controls (>40%; P < 0.05). Transplantation of beta-galactosidase-positive cells or cells loaded with fluorescent beads is a useful method for assessing the fate and differentiation of periodontal cells in vivo. Fluorescent beads, however, are diluted at mitosis and this method underestimates the percentage of transplanted cells. As transplanted periodontal cells in both groups promoted regeneration of alveolar bone, cell transplantation could improve the restoration of periodontium destroyed by periodontitis. (+info)Acute effects of ovariectomy on wound healing of alveolar bone after maxillary molar extraction in aged rats. (4/70)
Acute effects of ovariectomy on the bone wound healing processes after maxillary molar extraction in aged rats were examined by means of quantitative scanning electron microscopy (SEM), backscattered electron image (BSE) analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis. Six-month-old female rats underwent either sham operation or bilateral ovariectomy, and 7 days postoperatively, the maxillary first molars were extracted. On post-extraction days 7, 30 and 60, the dissected maxillary bone surfaces were examined by SEM to reveal the bone formative and resorptive areas around the extracted alveolar sockets. In addition, the resin-embedded maxillae were micromilled in the transverse direction through the extracted alveolar sockets, and the newly-formed bone mass on the buccal bone surfaces and within the extracted sockets was examined by BSE analysis. Compared with sham-operated controls, the extent of newly-formed bone mass on the buccal bone surfaces in OVX rats was significantly decreased, due to increased bone resorption. On the other hand, new bone formation within the extracted sockets was similar in the experimental groups. In EDX microanalysis of these newly-formed bone matrices, both Ca and P weight % and Ca/P molar ratio were similar in the experimental groups. Our results suggest that 1) acute estrogen deficiency induced by ovariectomy stimulates sustained bone resorption, but has less effect on bone formation, and 2) bone wound healing after maxillary molar extraction within extracted alveolar sockets is not significantly delayed by ovariectomy, but bony support by newly-formed bone mass on the maxillary bone surfaces at the buccal side of the extracted sockets is significantly decreased, due to increased bone resorption. (+info)Histologic study of use of microfibrillar collagen hemostat in rat dental sockets. (5/70)
The aim of this paper was to evaluate if the placement of microfibrillar collagen hemostat (MCH) into a dental socket interfered with healing. General anesthesia was administered to 30 adult male Albinus Wistar rats and the maxillary right central incisor was extracted. In the control group after each tooth was extracted, the socket was sutured. In the MCH group after each tooth was extracted, MCH was placed into the socket before suturing. Postoperatively, 5 animals were sacrificed from each group at 7, 21 and 28 days. The right maxilla was removed from each animal and histologic slides were stained with Masson's trichromic and hematoxylin and eosin. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were done. The percentage of bone area in the dental socket was quantified using the Image Lab 98 image analysis system. The bone area formation for the control and MCH groups was: 8.1% and 3.3% at 7 days, 34.4% and 33% at 21 days and 41% and 41.3% at 28 days, respectively. We concluded that MCH interferes with the beginning of dental socket healing but does not interfere with the final healing of the dental socket. (+info)Restoration of mechanical strength and morphological features of the periodontal ligament following orthodontic retention in the rat mandibular first molar. (6/70)
Biomechanical properties and morphological features of the periodontal ligament (PDL) in the rat mandibular molars were examined during orthodontic retention. Seventy-three male rats of the Wistar strain, 8 weeks of age, were used for biomechanical analysis and six rats for morphological analysis. An elastic band was inserted between the mandibular first and second molars for 4 days; after removal of the elastic band the interdental space was filled with resin for 4 and 8 days. The maximum shear stress, tangent modulus, and failure strain energy density of the PDL of the first molar in the experimental animals decreased markedly following application of an orthodontic force. They increased rapidly and were restored completely to the control levels by the 8th day after retention. Light microscopy showed severe compression and extension of the PDL in the experimental animals on the 8th day after retention. Birefringent collagen fibre bundles running across the compressed and expanded PDL were observed, although they appeared to be thinner with less insertions into the alveolar bone or cementum in the experimental animals than in the controls. This suggests that the periodontal collagen fibres were partially reorganized and rearranged during retention. The reorganization and rearrangement of periodontal collagen fibres seemed to be partly related to the restoration of mechanical strength of the rat molar PDL during the 8 days of retention. (+info)Biological characteristics of cell lines of human dental alveolus. (7/70)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biological characteristics of cell lines of healthy and diseased human dental alveoli. METHODS: Primary cell lines from either healthy or diseased human dental alveoli were obtained. Two cell lines, H-258 and H-171 derived from healthy and diseased human tissues respectively, were selected for morphological study and research on their growth and aging, using cell counting, and histochemical and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Primary cell lines were successfully established from innormal dental alveoli. After freezing and thawing for three times, cell growth was continued and no morphological alterations were observed. The doubling time was 53.4 hours and mean division index (MDI) was 4 per thousand. Cells were kept normal after twenty generations with no obvious reduction of doubling time and MDI. Of twenty-six primary cell lines derived from healthy human dental alveoli, only three cell lines achieved generation. After freezing and thawing for twice, cultured cells were still alive at a decreased growth speed, with doubling time of 85.9 hours and MDI of 3 per thousand. Both cell lines, H-171 and H-258, shared the characteristics of osteoblast. CONCLUSIONS: Primary cell lines of diseased human dental alveoli show greater growth potential. All cell lines of dental alveoli share characteristics of osteoblast. The technique we developed may be put into practice for the treatment of abnormal dental alveoli. (+info)Two- and three-dimensional sonographic assessment of the fetal face. 2. Analysis of cleft lip, alveolus and palate. (8/70)
OBJECTIVES: To describe the sonographic appearance of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL +/- P) using two-dimensional and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging. Also, to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound to delineate with precision the bony extent of facial clefts, i.e. to differentiate clefts limited to the lips, or extending to the alveolus/premaxilla or the secondary palate. METHODS: This was a retrospective study based on the examination of fetuses diagnosed with an isolated CL +/- P. Cases included were either discovered at systematic screening or referred for further investigation. Clefts were characterized by their precise anatomical location and extent. The defect could include a cleft lip (CL), a cleft alveolus (CA), or a cleft of the secondary palate (CSP). RESULTS: We analyzed 96 cases of CL +/- P. The mean gestational age at examination was 28.2 +/- 4.1 weeks. The sonographic appearance of CL, CA, and CSP was depicted. Strict concordance of the sonographic report with the anatomical defect was present in 84 cases (87.5%). In eight cases, the severity of the cleft was underestimated: three cases of CA, four of CA + CSP and one of CSP were missed. In four cases, the cleft was overestimated as CA was incorrectly suspected. CONCLUSIONS: Systematic screening with sonography to detect prenatally CL +/- P requires the imaging of at least the mid-sagittal and the anterior coronal 'nose-mouth' views. Once the presence of a facial cleft is suspected, the three reference orthogonal planes are imaged in order to characterize the anatomical defect, and for each plane, the serial scans are thoroughly examined. This protocol allows precise delineation of the defect. Inclusion of 3D and 4D ultrasound imaging in the examination protocol allows easier and more rapid screening and more precise evaluation of the different cleft constituents. (+info)A tooth socket, also known as alveolus, is the part of the jawbone that holds and supports a tooth through its periodontal ligament, allowing for physiological movements during function while maintaining stability.
A tooth socket, also known as an alveolus (plural: alveoli), refers to the hollow cavity or space in the jawbone where a tooth is anchored. The tooth socket is part of the alveolar process, which is the curved part of the maxilla or mandible that contains multiple tooth sockets for the upper and lower teeth, respectively.
Each tooth socket has a specialized tissue called the periodontal ligament, which attaches the root of the tooth to the surrounding bone. This ligament helps absorb forces generated during biting and chewing, allowing for comfortable and efficient mastication while also maintaining the tooth's position within the jawbone. The tooth socket is responsible for providing support, stability, and nourishment to the tooth through its blood vessels and nerves.
Periodontal dressings are medicated, semi-rigid, or flexible bandages applied to the gingival tissues following periodontal surgical procedures to protect the wound, control bleeding, and promote healing.
Periodontal dressings are medicated, semi-rigid materials used in dentistry to protect and support traumatized or surgically treated periodontal tissues during the healing process. They act as a barrier, shielding the area from physical trauma, bacterial invasion, and food impaction, thereby promoting optimal healing. These dressings are typically applied after procedures such as deep scaling, root planing, or periodontal surgery.
A tooth is a small, calcified, hard structure found in the jaw of many vertebrates that primarily functions to grasp or break down food during mastication, supported by a periodontal ligament and surrounded by a layer of gum tissue.
A tooth is a hard, calcified structure found in the jaws (upper and lower) of many vertebrates and used for biting and chewing food. In humans, a typical tooth has a crown, one or more roots, and three layers: the enamel (the outermost layer, hardest substance in the body), the dentin (the layer beneath the enamel), and the pulp (the innermost layer, containing nerves and blood vessels). Teeth are essential for proper nutrition, speech, and aesthetics. There are different types of teeth, including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, each designed for specific functions in the mouth.
Dry socket is a post-extraction complication characterized by the loss or dislodgement of the blood clot at the site of tooth extraction, exposing bone and leading to severe pain and delayed healing.
"Dry socket" is a common term used in dentistry to describe a condition that can occur after a tooth extraction. The medical term for dry socket is "alveolar osteitis." This condition arises when the blood clot that forms in the socket where the tooth was removed becomes dislodged or fails to form properly, exposing the bone and nerves underneath.
Dry socket can be quite painful, causing a throbbing sensation that may radiate to the ear, neck, or temple. It can also lead to bad breath and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. The exact cause of dry socket is not entirely clear, but several factors may increase the risk, including smoking, poor oral hygiene, using birth control pills, and having a history of dry socket.
Treatment for dry socket typically involves cleaning the socket and placing a medicated dressing to promote healing and relieve pain. Over-the-counter pain medications and warm compresses may also help alleviate discomfort. It is essential to follow your dentist's instructions carefully to prevent complications and promote proper healing.
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure involving the removal of a tooth from its socket in the alveolar bone, typically performed due to severe tooth decay, infection, or trauma that cannot be restored or preserved.
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth that is damaged or poses a threat to oral health is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This may be necessary due to various reasons such as severe tooth decay, gum disease, fractured teeth, crowded teeth, or for orthodontic treatment purposes. The procedure is performed by a dentist or an oral surgeon, under local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring minimal discomfort during the extraction process.
Artificial limbs, also known as prosthetic limbs, are artificial devices that replace and help restore the function of a missing body part, such as arms or legs, which were lost due to amputation, trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.
Artificial limbs, also known as prosthetics, are artificial substitutes that replace a part or all of an absent extremity or limb. They are designed to restore the function, mobility, and appearance of the lost limb as much as possible. Artificial limbs can be made from various materials such as wood, plastic, metal, or carbon fiber, and they can be custom-made to fit the individual's specific needs and measurements.
Prosthetic limbs can be categorized into two main types: cosmetic and functional. Cosmetic prosthetics are designed to look like natural limbs and are primarily used to improve the appearance of the person. Functional prosthetics, on the other hand, are designed to help the individual perform specific tasks and activities. They may include features such as hooks, hands, or specialized feet that can be used for different purposes.
Advances in technology have led to the development of more sophisticated artificial limbs, including those that can be controlled by the user's nervous system, known as bionic prosthetics. These advanced prosthetic devices can provide a greater degree of mobility and control for the user, allowing them to perform complex movements and tasks with ease.
Tooth loss is the physical absence or removal of one or more teeth from the dental arch, which can occur due to various reasons such as decay, periodontal disease, trauma, or congenital defects.
Tooth loss is the condition or process characterized by the disappearance or absence of one or more teeth from their normal position in the dental arch. This can occur due to various reasons such as tooth decay, periodontal disease (gum disease), injury, or aging. The consequences of tooth loss include difficulties in chewing, speaking, and adversely affecting the aesthetics of a person's smile, which may lead to psychological impacts. Additionally, it can cause shifting of adjacent teeth, bone resorption, and changes in the bite, potentially leading to further dental issues if not treated promptly.
A tooth germ is a cluster of cells within the dental follicle that will eventually develop into either a tooth or a supernumerary (extra) tooth, consisting of the enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, during the embryonic development process.
A tooth germ is a small cluster of cells that eventually develop into a tooth. It contains the dental papilla, which will become the dentin and pulp of the tooth, and the dental follicle, which will form the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. The tooth germ starts as an epithelial thickening called the dental lamina, which then forms a bud, cap, and bell stage before calcification occurs and the tooth begins to erupt through the gums. It is during the bell stage that the enamel organ, which will form the enamel of the tooth, is formed.
'Amputation stumps' refer to the remaining parts of a limb after amputation, which may include a portion of the bone, muscles, tendons, and skin, that require proper care and healing for prosthetic fitting if necessary.
Amputation stumps, also known as residual limbs, refer to the remaining part of a limb after it has been amputated. The stump includes the soft tissue and bone that were once part of the amputated limb. Proper care and management of the amputation stump are essential for optimal healing, reducing the risk of complications such as infection or delayed wound healing, and promoting successful prosthetic fitting and use. This may involve various treatments such as wound care, pain management, physical therapy, and the use of specialized medical devices.
A deciduous tooth, also known as a baby tooth or primary tooth, is a temporary dental organ in human dentition that falls out naturally during specific age ranges to make way for the permanent successors.
A deciduous tooth, also known as a baby tooth or primary tooth, is a type of temporary tooth that humans and some other mammals develop during childhood. They are called "deciduous" because they are eventually shed and replaced by permanent teeth, much like how leaves on a deciduous tree fall off and are replaced by new growth.
Deciduous teeth begin to form in the womb and start to erupt through the gums when a child is around six months old. By the time a child reaches age three, they typically have a full set of 20 deciduous teeth, including incisors, canines, and molars. These teeth are smaller and less durable than permanent teeth, but they serve important functions such as helping children chew food properly, speak clearly, and maintain space in the jaw for the permanent teeth to grow into.
Deciduous teeth usually begin to fall out around age six or seven, starting with the lower central incisors. This process continues until all of the deciduous teeth have been shed, typically by age 12 or 13. At this point, the permanent teeth will have grown in and taken their place, with the exception of the wisdom teeth, which may not erupt until later in adolescence or early adulthood.
A tooth root is the portion of a tooth's structure that is embedded within the alveolar bone and supports the tooth, typically covered by the periodontal ligament and containing dental pulp tissue with nerves and blood vessels.
A tooth root is the part of a tooth that is embedded in the jawbone and cannot be seen when looking at a person's smile. It is the lower portion of a tooth that typically has a conical shape and anchors the tooth to the jawbone through a periodontal ligament. The tooth root is covered by cementum, a specialized bone-like tissue, and contains nerve endings and blood vessels within its pulp chamber.
The number of roots in a tooth can vary depending on the type of tooth. For example, incisors typically have one root, canines may have one or two roots, premolars usually have one or two roots, and molars often have two to four roots. The primary function of the tooth root is to provide stability and support for the crown of the tooth, allowing it to withstand the forces of biting and chewing.
A tooth crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a prepared natural tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and/or improves its appearance, typically made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal or gold alloys.
A tooth crown is a type of dental restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. It is typically made of materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys and is custom-made to fit over the prepared tooth. The tooth crown is cemented in place and becomes the new outer surface of the tooth, protecting it from further damage or decay.
The process of getting a tooth crown usually involves two dental appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay or damaged tissue and shaping the tooth to accommodate the crown. An impression is then taken of the prepared tooth and sent to a dental laboratory where the crown is fabricated. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it until the permanent crown is ready. At the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is cemented in place.
Tooth crowns are often recommended for several reasons, including:
* To restore a broken or fractured tooth
* To protect a weakened tooth from further damage or decay
* To support a large filling when there isn't enough natural tooth structure left
* To cover a dental implant
* To improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
Overall, a tooth crown is an effective and long-lasting solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth and improving oral health.
An artificial eye, also known as a prosthetic eye, is a type of medical device crafted from materials like acrylic or glass, designed to aesthetically replace a lost or removed natural eye due to injury, disease, or surgical intervention.
An artificial eye, also known as a prosthetic eye, is a type of medical device that is used to replace a natural eye that has been removed or is not functional due to injury, disease, or congenital abnormalities. It is typically made of acrylic or glass and is custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of the patient's other eye as closely as possible.
The artificial eye is designed to fit over the eye socket and rest on the eyelids, allowing the person to have a more natural appearance and improve their ability to blink and close their eye. It does not restore vision, but it can help protect the eye socket and improve the patient's self-esteem and quality of life.
The process of fitting an artificial eye typically involves several appointments with an ocularist, who is a healthcare professional trained in the measurement, design, and fabrication of prosthetic eyes. The ocularist will take impressions of the eye socket, create a model, and then use that model to make the artificial eye. Once the artificial eye is made, the ocularist will fit it and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that it is comfortable and looks natural.
'Tooth eruption' is the process by which a tooth emerges from the gum line and becomes visible in the oral cavity, marking its transition from a developmental stage to a functional one in the dental arch.
Tooth eruption is the process by which a tooth emerges from the gums and becomes visible in the oral cavity. It is a normal part of dental development that occurs in a predictable sequence and timeframe. Primary or deciduous teeth, also known as baby teeth, begin to erupt around 6 months of age and continue to emerge until approximately 2-3 years of age. Permanent or adult teeth start to erupt around 6 years of age and can continue to emerge until the early twenties.
The process of tooth eruption involves several stages, including the formation of the tooth within the jawbone, the movement of the tooth through the bone and surrounding tissues, and the final emergence of the tooth into the mouth. Proper tooth eruption is essential for normal oral function, including chewing, speaking, and smiling. Any abnormalities in the tooth eruption process, such as delayed or premature eruption, can indicate underlying dental or medical conditions that require further evaluation and treatment.
'Orbital implants' are artificial devices or materials used to restore the volume and shape of the eye socket, following enucleation, evisceration, or orbital exenteration surgeries.
Orbital implants are medical devices used in the field of ophthalmology, specifically for orbital fracture repair and enucleation or evisceration procedures. They serve as a replacement for the natural eye structure (the eyeball) when it is removed due to various reasons such as severe trauma, tumors, or painful blind eyes.
Orbital implants are typically made of biocompatible materials like porous polyethylene, hydroxyapatite, or glass. These materials allow for the growth of fibrovascular tissue into the pores, which helps to integrate the implant with the surrounding tissues and minimize movement. The size of the implant is chosen based on the individual patient's needs and may vary from 16mm to 24mm in diameter.
The primary function of orbital implants is to restore the volume and shape of the eye socket, maintain proper eyelid position and function, and provide a foundation for the attachment of an ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) that can be worn over the implant to give a more natural appearance.
