Zub u oku

Najnovije postignuće u modernoj medicini omogučuje ugradnju implantanta leće ( proteze ) bazirane na kirurški pripremljenoj zubnoj podlozi u oko pacijenta.

Postupak koji omogučuje parcijalno vračanje osjeta vida u pacijenta oboljelog od Stevens-Johnson-ovog sindroma naziva se "modified osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis".

Sam postupak započinje odstranjivanjem pacijentovog zdravog zuba iz oralne šupljine, koji se kirurški obradi odstranivanjem nepotrenog materijala,

nakon obrade vrši se bušenje adekvatnog ležišta za prihvat umjetne leće, zub, odnosno obrađeni zubni materijal u ovom slučaju služi kao podloga za prihvat umjetne leće kao i materijal koji naslanja na samo oko.

Obrađeni zub ( zubna podloga ) potreban je kod kirurške ugradnje jer će u protivnom pacijentovo tijelo odbaciti strano tijelo.

Živući Terminator:

Izvrsna vijest.Dobro si ju našao,veoma zanimljivo.

The 60-year-old former restaurant manager said at one point during her blindness she had considered suicide even though her family and best friend, Rick Brister, were there to help with meals and other needs.

"I thought I was a burden," she said.

Six years ago, a friend drove Thornton nearly 900 miles to Miami to begin a series of unsuccessful surgeries she hoped would restore her sight. Then she met Perez.

That journey ends on Sept. 28, when she returns to Bascom Palmer and Perez removes a guard on the eye that she currently has to look through.

Thornton said eyesight will give her a chance to more fully experience things she's tried over the last several years with Brister.

"We're going to try to retrace where we've been," she said."
