Abstract

BACKGROUND: To restore facial structure and function, prosthodontics plays an essential role in the rehabilitation of individuals with orbital abnormalities. Personalized solutions that promote ocular health and increase quality of life are intended, in addition to improving facial looks. Multidisciplinary collaboration between ophthalmologists, prosthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, and other experts is often necessary to provide comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and psychological well-being of the patient. Devastating orbital abnormalities such as tissue necrosis, loss of structural integrity, and possibly vision impairment can result from this. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to address the challenging orbital abnormalities associated with mucormycosis. CASE REPORT: A 54-year-old Asian female patient, resident of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, India, presented to the outpatient department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge with a chief complaint of a missing left eye. The patient's previous medical history revealed that she was operated for mucormycosis post coronavirus disease 2019. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of the missing left eye was done, and the orbital defect was rehabilitated. CONCLUSION: Healthcare professionals must comprehend the connection between ocular abnormalities and mucormycosis to guarantee prompt diagnosis, efficient therapy, and better patient outcomes in this difficult clinical situation. Advanced techniques and materials in prosthodontic rehabilitation aim to deliver durable results that restore functionality and rebuild patients' confidence.
