Seguimento de vinte e quatro meses de próteses oculopalpebrais fabricadas em fluxo digital

Resumo (EN)

Facial defects, whether of congenital or acquired etiology, can result from traumatic events, various pathologies or surgical interventions. Within this context, oculopalpebral prostheses play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered structural losses in their ocular and palpebral region. The retention of these prostheses can be achieved through two main approaches, i.e., adhesive or implant-supported. This study presents a 24-month follow-up of 41 patients who received oculopalpebral prostheses made using digital workflow, with an emphasis on the time spent for rehabilitation and the success of the procedures. The data obtained revealed that the period required for the patients’ total rehabilitation varied significantly, ranging from one to seven months, with an average of three months. Regarding the fabrication of the prostheses, there was a temporal variation from one to three and a half months, with an average of two months.
