Prosthodontic rehabilitation in patient with post COVID-19 rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis - A case report

Abstract

Mucormycosis usually occurs in patients with compromised immune system, and also in patients with uncontrolled diabetes, with rampant use of corticosteroids owing to the deadly triad of COVID-19 infection. The involvement in the maxillary region may need to be surgical resected and the debridement of the necrosed areas can lead to extensive maxillary defects which can create difficulties in the patient’s normal function.This case report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with post COVID-19 rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis.
