A Novel Technique for Retention of the Immediate Obturator Following Maxillectomy in Mucormycosis: A Case Report

Mucormycosis is an aggressive opportunistic fungal infection that affects blood supply-rich areas such as the maxilla. Because of the compromised immune system caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and diabetes, this infection has spread at a rapid rate. Early detection and treatme...

description Mucormycosis is an aggressive opportunistic fungal infection that affects blood supply-rich areas such as the maxilla. Because of the compromised immune system caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and diabetes, this infection has spread at a rapid rate. Early detection and treatment can reduce disease mortality and morbidity. However, the difficulties of prosthetic rehabilitation and the lack of multidisciplinary planning negatively influence the quality of life (QOL). This case report uses the novel concept of magnet-retained immediate prosthetic rehabilitation in such a case.
