Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a sophisticated surgical technique primarily employed in cases of severe corneal opacity or damage where conventional corneal transplants are unsuitable or have failed. This innovative procedure combines elements of osteogenesis and odontogenesis, utilizing a patient's own dental tissue and bone to create a stable, functional platform for a synthetic or biological cornea. Initially, a small piece of the patient's tooth, including surrounding bone (usually the canine tooth) is extracted, which forms the basis of the keratoprosthesis. This tooth-bone complex undergoes a process of integration into the tissue, typically within the buccal mucosa of the mouth for a designated period, allowing sufficient time for vascularization and epithelialization. Following this integration phase, the tooth is then prepared to have a clear optical cylinder inserted into it, essentially creating a new cornea. The whole structure is then reinserted into the patient's eye, providing a conduit for vision while encouraging the surrounding tissues to grow and support the newly formed eye structure. The prognosis for patients undergoing OOKP can vary based on individual circumstances, but many individuals with otherwise incurable corneal blindness have achieved functional vision through this procedure. Importantly, while OOKP presents significant benefits, including the use of the patient's own tissue which minimizes rejection risks, it is also associated with challenges such as potential complications, prolonged treatment times, and the necessity for meticulous postoperative care. Furthermore, the procedure demands a high level of skill and experience from the ophthalmic surgeon, making it available in specialized centers equipped to handle such complex cases. Overall, osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis represents a remarkable intersection of dental and ophthalmic surgical expertise, offering renewed hope for patients facing debilitating visual impairment from corneal disease.
