Abstract

Mucormycosis is a devastating disease with serious manifestations in the affected individuals. It spreads through angioinvasion, and the spores have high affinity for olfactory epithelium, and pterygomandibular raphe of immunocompromised patients. Surgical debridement of invaded structures leads to extensive defects, which need prosthodontic rehabilitation to improve the quality of life of the patients. This article is compilation of data presented in literature to showcase the patients who were treated with maxillary obturators to manage post mucormycosis intraoral defects. Lacunae in presentation of clinical cases with future recommendations have also been discussed in brief.
