Abstract

Mucormycosis is a deep invasive mycotic infection caused by a group of molds referred to as mucormycetes. The incidence of mucormycosis increased markedly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease can be fatal in a very high percentage of individuals and in others, its effects can drastically affect the quality of life. The prognosis depends on the early diagnosis and treatment in which dental professionals play a major role, particularly in cases of rhinomaxillary mucormycosis. The present report describes the prosthetic management of a case of rhinomaxillary mucormycosis for functional restoration.
