Abstrakt: A variety of autogenous materials may be used for orbital implantation in the anophthalmic socket. An understanding of the pathology of the socket is necessary to treat the problem correctly. Autogenous grafts have been used successfully to treat the superior sulcus deformity, extruding implant, and the contracting socket. The major advantages of autogenous material are its minimal inflammatory reaction and its total compatibility with the host.
