Zusammenfassung: | The most common complication post COVID-19is mucormycosis. It is an opportunistic infection caused by the fungus mucormycetes which belongs to the order Mucorales. This infection can spread from the oral cavity to the nasal cavity and sometimes also involve the orbit. Surgical resection of the affected region followed by its prosthetic rehabilitation is one of the viable treatment options. In this case report, we will discuss the problems in designing and fabricating a hollow bulb obturator and its solutions. |
