Results:
One hundred and two patients have received eye socket reconstruction of this method with improved results. The prosthetic eyes move freely. Follow-up for 6 to 38 months reveals that the results are stable and satisfactory.
Conclusion:
The indigenous hydroxyapa tite implant is a good biomaterial for socket reconstruction.
