Abstract

Facial reconstruction by epithesis using osseointegrated implants as an anchorage has been performed since 1990 in Nagoya University Hospital. In this report,clinical evaluation of implants and psychological examinations with questionnaires pre- and post-treatment were carried out for 6 patients over 5 years after implant-supported epithesis therapy.<br/> Twenty-four fixtures had been installed for the reconstruction of eye, nose, and ear. Survival rate of the implants was 100% (average observation period: 7 years).<br/> The Cornell Medical Index-Health Questionnaire (CMI) proved that there were no patients with emotional disturbance. In addition, our original questionnaire revealed that wearing of the facial epithesis had reduced the psychological burden and the feeling of uneasiness toward personal relationships.
