Rehabilitation With an Obturator in Maxillary Defects

CompletedN/A

Sponsor: Menoufia University

Conditions: Mucormycosis

Interventions: Obturator Prosthetic Rehabilitation

Countries: Egypt

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a lot of reporting of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases. Managing this condition posed a new challenge to clinicians. Management includes therapeutic drugs and aggressive surgical debridement. Due to the unpredictability of disease prognosis and the possible recurrence of the disease, rehabilitation with delayed surgical obturators is beneficial for patients. Hence, the current study aimed to evaluate the impact of delayed surgical obturators on quality of life of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis patients post-maxillectomies
