This article describes a procedure in which an obturator with an integrated spring-loaded rewinding device retains an orbital prosthesis. This system minimizes movement of the orbital prosthesis during mastication and thus prevents adhesive failure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008409 Mastication The act and process of chewing and grinding food in the mouth. Chewing
D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
