Mucormycosis is a fungal infection commonly seen in Indian population, in which aggressive surgical intervention to cut away the infected tissue becomes necessary. This may cause disfigurement and leave open wounds which requires prosthetic replacement for psychological benefit and also protect the inner soft tissues of the patient which are exposed to the foreign bodies. Mucormycosis has shown a sudden surge in recent times associated with patients affected by Covid-19. It is a rare but serious complication which can cause loss of eye, nose and associated structures leaving the patient disfigured. The aim of this case report is to describe an economic but effective nonsurgical treatment option to restore the facial defect using acrylic resin baseplate to enhance retention by using the available undercuts and was packed using silicone material. The prosthesis was retained mechanically and omitted the use of any retentive aids such as the use of spectacles or implants.
毛霉菌病是印度人群中常见的真菌感染，在这种情况下，对感染组织进行积极的手术切除干预变得必要。这可能会导致毁容并留下开放性伤口，为了心理上的益处需要进行假体置换，同时也能保护患者暴露于异物的内部软组织。最近，毛霉菌病与感染新冠病毒的患者相关联，出现了突然激增的情况。它是一种罕见但严重的并发症，可导致眼睛、鼻子及相关结构缺失，使患者毁容。本病例报告的目的是描述一种经济但有效的非手术治疗方案，即使用丙烯酸树脂基托来修复面部缺陷，通过利用现有的倒凹来增强固位，并使用硅酮材料进行填充。假体通过机械方式固位，无需使用任何固位辅助装置，如眼镜或植入物。
