Abstract
ABSTRACT The surgical removal of the orbit can be a psychologically traumatic event that may incapacitate patients. The prosthetic rehabilitation of such defects is complex and artistically driven. This case report describes the aesthetic rehabilitation of a patient who had undergone unilateral orbital exenteration due to COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital mucormycosis. This technique uses commonly available materials in the dental clinic and artists’ colors for the fabrication of a custom ocular portion of the silicone orbital prosthesis that closely matches the natural eye color of the patient.
