Abstract

The incidence of Mucormycosis has been seen an uptrend especially after the COVID-19 epidemic. The number of cases reporting to Prosthodontists has seen an uptick, with increasing demand to rehabilitate the patients with large intraoral and extraoral defects. Mucormycosis is an aggressive fungal infection that can result in severe complications, including involvement of the orbit, often requiring urgent surgical intervention such as enucleation of the affected eye and other structures. This case report details the management of a 57-year-old male patient who had his right eye enucleated due to a Mucormycosis infection two years earlier with a spectacle retained orbital prosthesis.
