CAD-CAM approach to optimize management of post-COVID-19 mucormycosis maxillectomy patients: A case report

A 34-year-old male patient was referred to the department after treatment of his right premaxilla and nasal cavity post-COVID-19 mucormycosis for prosthodontic management. Treatment planning included the fabrication of an interim obturator prosthesis followed by a definitive prosthesis at a later stage. The interim obturator was fabricated using conventional techniques, but digital technology was used to fabricate the definitive prosthesis. Impressions were made using an intraoral scanner, and virtual designing and 3D printing of the framework was done using CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Designing/ Computer Aided Manufacturing)
