Introduction

Highly advanced prosthetic fingers like bionic fingers are astronomically expensive to the tune of $57000 to $73000. The professionally made expensive prosthesis is not within reach of common man and hence an attempt is made to satisfy the needs of the amputees using the facilities of the dental clinic. (Jankelson, 2005) The twelve-year-old girl lost two fingers of her right hand, which were rehabilitated with silicone prosthesis using the limited resources of dental clinic and laboratory. (Swanson, 2013) Clinical and laboratory steps are described in this article. Two phalanges of the middle and ring fingers were lost in an accident and when the patient reported, the wound was completely healed and without pain or tenderness (Figure 1). (Scarr & Harrison, 2017)

It was decided to make the impression of the palm and adjacent two fingers using putty and light body elastomer. The ventral portion was copied with putty which was subsequently relined with a light body. The dorsal portion of the fingers and palm was then covered with a light body. Over the light body, putty was applied to complete the impression (Figure 5; Figure 4; Figure 3; Figure 2). (Mayer, 2004) While making the impression that care has to be taken to keep the fingers apart. Cast is poured in dental stone (Figure 6).

To make the working cast of the amputated fingers (stumps), another impression was made by painting thin consistency plaster over the fingers with a painting brush. Before that skin surface was smeared with petrolatum as a separating medium (Gauer & Semidey, 2015). Plaster was used to avoid possible compression of the soft tissue (Figure 8; Figure 7).

The tissue surface of the impression was washed with soap and water. A thin coat of alginate mould separator was applied on the plaster surface before pouring dental stone (Figure 9) (Mujakperuo, 2010).

Features of the left hand fingers were copied in an alginate impression and wax patterns were fabricated by pouring molten modeling. The wax coating was limited to 1mm thickness so that a hollow wax pattern was obtained. However, the tip remained solid. Wax pattern was modified to suit the features of the right hand. A trial was taken with the wax pattern on the patient (Figure 11; Figure 10) (Ouanounou, 2017).

The hollow portion of the wax pattern was filled with dental stone and a twin pin die pin was fixed. Length of the pin was adjusted to suit the requirements of the die (Figure 13; Figure 12).

A separable base was fabricated incorporating the pin. Adequate boxing was done with putty to make the base (Figure 17; Figure 16; Figure 15; Figure 14; Figure 13; Figure 12) (Gauer et al., 2015).

Wax pattern with the die and its base was flasked in a large denture flask as in a denture. Dewaxing was done in a water bath and the two piece mould was thus prepared. Mould separator was applied and allowed to dry. Silicone was obtained and pigments like white, yellow ochre, red and burnt umber were added and mixed briskly. Silicone for the nail portion is filled first with appropriate pigments and other portions subsequently (Figure 19; Figure 18) (Robert, 1995).

The flask is allowed to stay intact for at least 12 hours. The prosthesis is removed gently, excesses removed with sharp blades and the gloss eliminated by rubbing with plaster powder. The prosthesis is tried and usually suction developed inside will provide retention (Silva, 2016).

The technique and materials used are available in any dental clinic or lab. Medical grade silicone sealants can be used for this purpose. Silicone sealants keep its elasticity and stability in both high and low temperatures. Furthermore, silicone sealant is resistant to other chemicals, moisture, and weathering in Figure 20.

An removal will be the removal, by mischance or by surgery, of a body part. Amputations in hand need aid generally the aftereffect of traumatic harm, in any case, might a chance to be those result of a wanted operation to prevent those spread about sickness Previously, a contaminated finger or hand. Occasionally, traumatically-amputated fingers might make replanted (reattached) in Figure 21. However, over a number cases, reattachment of the amputated finger is not time permits or prudent in view an individual might make additional agreeable Furthermore have superior capacity. On the a component will be not reattached. This is because of danger that those reattached a piece Might make chronically painful, stiff, or need an abnormal alternately absent feeling (Cooper & Kleinberg, 2007).

It might make necessary to abbreviate the bone or tendon thus that there's enough delicate tissue with spread those bone. Sometimes, the specialist might must utilization skin, muscle alternately tendons starting with another and only your physique with a blanket the wound. All the more broad removal injuries, the specialist might shape those finger alternately the hand will have the ability to fit a prosthetic hand or finger after the fact.

Sometimes, it will be necessary to experience more than a particular case technique on support maximal length Also work of the harmed territory.

Recuperation. To the initial few for weeks after removal surgery, you if anticipate a few aches. Torment might be controlled with agony medications, other medication, hand therapy, orthotics (braces alternately different supports), Also different techniques, for example, ice alternately high temperature. Same time you would healing, your specialist will let you how on wrap And administer to the surgical web page. Furthermore, The point when should give back of the office to catch up consideration.

Though your side effects need aid incapacitating Also persistent, they could frequently figured out how for amendment surgery.

For example, you might feel touchy done an area, which will be created Toward a neuroma (an extended conclusion of the nerve that camwood make effortlessly irritated). There are new systems accessible that camwood makes supportive for A percentage to mitigate neuroma pain (Fernandez-Gonzalez, 2015).

Treatment. Post-amputation, you might be alluded to a word related or confirmed hand specialist will assistance recover work and address torment and abnormal sensation. You'll liable be given activities will Fabricate your quality And move forward range about movement or adaptability. You might make required should contact and move your skin will desensitize it And keep it versatile. Separate splints And steady units, for example, silicone gel sleeves might a chance to be furnished after your removal surgery. Guided engine imagery, mirror therapy, joint mobilization, tendon And nerve gliding, And blocking activities are regularly utilized to both a home Furthermore formal treatment project.

Prosthesis. The majority is critical for your specialist and prosthetist thereabouts that a suitable prosthesis camwood a chance to be gave to you then afterwards an amputation (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, 2015).

This procedure could make an accurate match of the subtle elements of the whole hand. The prosthetic hand or finger is committed, starting with An flexible, transparent silicone elastic. Those shades in the silicone are deliberately matched to your skin tones on provide for the prosthesis the life-like gander And composition for genuine skin. It may be normally held with respect to by suction, and the adaptability of the silicone permits useful go about the movement of the remaining figure parts (Varga, 2010). Fingernails can a chance to be separately hued will match Just about superbly. Those nails might a chance to be polished with At whatever nail polish and the shine could be evacuated with a gentle-action nail shine remover. Silicones would be safe on staining, something like that inks wash off effectively with liquor alternately cleanser and warm water.

For fitting care, a silicone prosthesis might be final one 3-5 quite some time. Usually, creation of your prosthesis might start three months following you would mended from removal surgery And know swelling need subsided. You might need treatment will figure out to utilize your new prosthesis.
