“…A variety of ceramic products have been clinically applied as biomaterials, and their advantages include high biocompatibility, in vivo stability, and superior mechanical characteristics compared to biomaterials such as synthetic polymers, resins, and metals [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Alumina ceramics are particularly effective as biomaterials owing to their high strength, resistance to wear, and smooth surface [6][7][8].…”

Aims: The addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) remarkably improves the mechanical characteristics of base materials. CNT/alumina ceramic composites are expected to be highly functional biomaterials useful in a variety of medical fields. Biocompatibility and bone tissue compatibility were studied for the application of CNT/alumina composites as biomaterials.Methods & results: Inflammation reactions in response to the composite were as mild as those of alumina ceramic alone in a subcutaneous implantation study. In bone implantation testing, the composite showed good bone tissue compatibility and connected directly to new bone. An in vitro cell attachment test was performed for osteoblasts, chondrocytes, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells, and CNT/alumina composite showed cell attachment similar to that of alumina ceramic.Discussion & conclusion: Owing to proven good biocompatibility and bone tissue compatibility, the application of CNT/alumina composites as biomaterials that contact bone, such as prostheses in arthroplasty and devices for bone repair, are expected.4

“…In addition, these ceramic products have already been used clinically in the femoral components of knee joint prostheses and in ankle joint prostheses [9,10]. In other medical fields, ceramics are used as artificial bone to repair cranial and orbital bone defects and as dental and cochlear implants, among other uses [11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…In our series, the major complications all occurred within 10 months. According to the literature, late complications (after a year) are more commonly related to eviscerations and not to enucleations (Wang et al 2009). Because we are a referral centre for oncologic eye diseases, patients come from all over the Netherlands.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To report the postoperative results after enucleation of using an acrylic orbital implant covered in donor sclera for implantation. Methods: We retrospectively analysed the charts of patients who were enucleated between 2007 and 2011. Only patients who received an acrylic implant covered with donor sclera were included. Results: A total of 179 patients were included in our analysis. About 15.6% experienced postoperative problems of which the majority were related to the position of the eyelid. Only one patient (0.6%) had an exposure of the orbital implant. Conclusion: Placing an acrylic orbital implant covered with donor sclera is a safe and effective method for reconstruction after enucleation.

“…In regards to alumina implants wrapped in polyglactin mesh, the results were initially encouraging, with low exposure rates [115]. Subsequent studies were more reserved, proving higher long-term exposure rates [116][117][118].…”

Since Ancient Egypt up to present day, there have constantly been attempts at creating a perfect ocular prosthesis, which would complement the outstanding deficit in the orbit as a result of enucleation, evisceration and which should be biocompatible with the orbital tissue. Over time, there have been used numerous clinical materials, which were the basis of these eye prostheses. By revising literature through the search engines PubMed, MEDLINE and other sources, this article aims at emphasizing, in a chronological sequence, the way in which different types of ocular prostheses were created, but also their advantages and disadvantages. The evolution and design of biomaterials improved the eye rehabilitation process and reduced the complications caused by these prostheses in the anophthalmic socket.
