Case Studies
Silicone mandibular prosthesis
Our patient with total mandibulectomy was provided with a silicone mandibular prosthesis to cover and protect exposed sensitive tissues and maintain humidity for his comfort. The soft flexible silicone prosthesis was designed to be retained securely and easily by 6 magnetic implant Vistafix fixtures for his ease of daily attachment and care. This prosthesis, created in collaboration with Loyola University Medical Center restored our patient’s ability to rejoin his family and friends with greater ease and comfort.
Frontal Bone Prosthesis
Our patient with significant loss of her her frontal bone was unable to find a credentialed silicone provider in Arizona so she met with our practitioner in Los Angeles to receive her restoration. This cranial prosthesis functions to cover and protect the frontal aspect of the brain from dangerous inadvertent impact. The prosthesis was designed to be extremely soft, flexible and lightweight for her comfort and confidence. Design, fabrication and fitting of the prosthesis was completed in just a few days in Los Angeles so the patient could return home for final hair styling to maximize aesthetics and camouflage.
