Anophthalmic socket impression techniques for ocular prosthesis: a comparative study

The authors conducted a comparative study on impression techniques for ocular prosthesis. Three prostheses were made for each one of twenty patients, using the following techniques: 1. injection; 2. the stock tray; 3. an individual tray. The degree of mobility of the three prostheses was measured by an apparatus devised by the authors as a substitute for a sinoptophorus. Results obtained analyzed statistically are indicative that the injection method was the best in the sample under study, on the present casuistics
