Abstract
Purpose: Patient: The patient is a male with a diagnosis of a fibrosarcoma of the left maxilla at age 52. As a result of ablative surgeries, the patient lost his left eye, orbital cavity contents, and left-side maxilla. Maxillofacial prosthetic treatments included an implant/magnet-retained orbital prosthesis for his left facial esthetics.
Discussion: The implant/magnet-retained orbital prosthesis offered the patient satisfactions because of not only esthetic improvement of the left-side orbital defect but also ease of placement and removal of the prosthesis.
Conclusion: Implants and magnet attachments are of great benefit in providing retention, support, and stability for the orbital prosthesis of the patient without enough residual soft tissue around the defect.
