One  of  a  prostodontist's  areas  of competence  is  creating  ocular prosthesis. This  is  because  a  prosthodontist  not  only manages  the edentulus  through  the manufacture  of  dentures  but  also  treats maxillofacial  rehabilitation  patients,  who also  construct  maxillofacial prosthesis such  as  feeding  plates,  eyes,  ears,  noses, and  obturators.  The procedure  of manufacturing  an  ocular  prosthesis  is,  in theory,  identical  to that  of  making  a denture.
