“…Most of the times, shade matching for maxillofacial prosthesis is done using trial and error method during packing procedure either for resin prosthesis or silicone prosthesis. [ 24 ] Tinting of the prosthesis using oil color is also a commonly advocated technique for color matching of ocular prosthesis. [ 25 ]…”

“…As a result, acrylic resin replaced glass as the preferred material in the fabrication of prosthetic eyes like the one shown in Figure 3a. Unlike with silicone, there is no widely preferred products among acrylic resins, with most studies preferring the use of locally available dental resins with both (Bindhoo and Aruna, 2011;Cevik et al, 2012;Goiato et al, 2012a;Goyal et al, 2012;Ruiters et al, 2016;Shrivastava et al, 2013;Tomar et al, 2018), though many studies in India prefer dental acrylic resin from Dental Products of India (Mumbai, India) (Gupta and Padmanabhan, 2012;Veerareddy et al, 2012;Pruthi and Jain, 2013;Thirunavukkarasu et al, 2014;Tripuraneni et al, 2015;Shankaran et al, 2016;Shetty et al, 2016).…”

Each year, congenital defects, trauma or cancer often results in considerable physical disfigurement for many people worldwide. This adversely impacts their psychological, social and economic outlook, leading to poor life experiences and negative health outcomes. In many cases of soft tissue disfigurement, highly personalized prostheses are available to restore both aesthetics and function. As discussed in part A of this review, key to the success of any soft tissue prosthetic is the fundamental properties of the materials. This determines the maximum attainable level of aesthetics, attachment mechanisms, fabrication complexity, cost, and robustness. Since the earlymid 20th century, polymers have completely replaced natural materials in prosthetics, with advances in both material properties and fabrication techniques leading to significantly improved capabilities. In part A, we discussed the history of polymers in prosthetics, their ideal properties, and the application of polymers in prostheses for the ear, nose, eye, breast and finger. We also reviewed the latest developments in advanced manufacturing and 3D printing, including different fabrication technologies and new and upcoming materials. In this review, Part B, we detail the chemistry of the most commonly used synthetic polymers in soft tissue prosthetics; silicone, acrylic resin, vinyl polymer, and polyurethane elastomer. For each polymer, we briefly discuss their history before detailing their chemistry and fabrication processes. We also discuss degradation of the polymer in the context of their application in prosthetics, including time and weathering, the impact of skin secretions, microbial growth and cleaning and disinfecting. Although advanced manufacturing promises new fabrication capabilities using exotic synthetic polymers with programmable material properties, silicones and acrylics remain the most commonly used materials in prosthetics today. As research in this field progresses, development of new variations and fabrication techniques based on these synthetic polymers will lead to even better and more robust soft tissue prosthetics, with improved lifelike aesthetics and lower cost manufacturing.

“…As shown in Figure 1, these losses cause esthetic, functional, social and psychological implications for the patients ( BRACHA ET al.,2003). The origins of impairments may be due to traumatic, pathological or even congenital contexts (BINDHOO; ARUNA, 2011). Because this type of loss occurs on the facial region, these individuals are submitted to great embarrassment due to compromised esthetics and lack of symmetry.…”

Surgical reconstruction of large facial defects may not be always possible, therefore extraoral maxillofacial prosthesis is a good restorative option. The oculopalpebral prosthesis has a natural appearance however it can be easily noticed because its eyelids do not move. For esthetic purposes, it is desirable that the prosthetic eyelids open and close synchronously with the contralateral eye, which provides a challenge to the prosthetic reconstruction of the oculopalpebral region. To improve the esthetic outcome, an oculopalpebral prosthesis prototype with mechanical and electric features allowing synchronization of the eyelid motion with the sound eye was planned, designed, and built. An oculopalpebral prosthesis was made in thermoactivated acrylic resin. A gap was created to accommodate an electrical system and allow free motion of a thin eyelid made of silicone attached to the appliance. The movable eyelid was made with medical grade silicone (SILASTIC ® MDX4-4210) and connected to an electrical and electronic system responsible to command the opening and closing movements. This mechanical and electrical prototype with the system connected to a sensor, successfully captured the eyelid motion of the contralateral sound eye. The proposed mechanical and electrical system attached to an oculopalpebral prosthesis could successfully establish and synchronize the eyelid movements with the sound eye. pálpebras do olho acústico contralateral. O sistema mecânico e elétrico proposto, fixado a uma prótese oculopalpebral, conseguiu estabelecer e sincronizar os movimentos da pálpebra com o olho sadio. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Prótese oculopalpebral. Sistema de movimento da pálpebra. Reabilitação facial.
