Abstract This clinical report describes management of old diabetic patient with mucormycosis by surgical debridement, systemic antifun- gal administration and prosthetic adjunctive therapy and using hollow obturator. Restoration of esthetic and cosmetic appearance of patient along with restoration of function, protection of tissues, therapeutic and healing effect, psychological therapy and improving the quality of life are main objectives of rehabilitation. The rehabilitation successfully done with a hollow bulb obturator in a case presented with subtotal maxillectomy is explained in given case report. Keywords: Hemi-maxillectomy; Mucormycosis; Hollow Obturator; Oro-antral Communication Introduction Resection of maxilla due to tumours or any infection leads to facial disfigurement, impaired functions like speech due to hyper- nasality, rumination, and a significant impact on patients quality of life. Post COVID-19 sepsis is that which occurs after SARS-CoV-2 had a rampage in the human body. It leads to secondary bacterial and fungal infections, especially in critically ill patients subjected to invasive emergency procedures, mechanical ventilation, pro- longed hospital stays, and breaches in asepsis. Further, corticoste- roid treatment in these highly susceptible hosts and high fungal spore counts in the environment creates the favourable condition for mold infections. Antifungal agents along with surgical debride- ment or resection are treatment modalities for such kind of infec- tion. This article discusses an innovative fabrication technique of obturator to treat an acquired maxillary defect due to post Co- vid-19 mucormycosis [2]. Multidisciplinary approach is required for management of such maxillary defects treated with surgical resection. The most practi- cal convenient and cost effective treatment mode along with advan- tage of removable prosthesis which helps in evaluation of infected side efficiently is provided by prosthodontic rehabilitation. Case Report Examination and treatment planning A 60 years old male patient visited with chief complain of nasal regurgitation, inability to chew food with existing prosthesis and loss of appearance.
