Outstretching challenges for rehabilitation of a mucormycotic case-a digitally designed patient-specific implant approach in the recent era
This case report demonstrates the dental management of post-mucormycotic patients with specially designed implants, customized according to the availability and anatomy of the bone in the entire head region. The absence of complications during follow-up, conducted at 15, 30, 45, and 90 days, and subsequently monthly for two years, highlights the success of this approach. Evaluation parameters included infection, soft tissue recovery, wound separation, masticatory efficiency, stability of the prosthesis, and aesthetic outcomes. The positive outcomes observed at follow-up appointments emphasize the viability and effectiveness of patient-specific implants in addressing maxillary defects caused by post-mucormycosis.
