“…For retention, the soft permanent reliner was used as a retentive material in the antral part (1st piece) which has the advantages of improved fit and masticatory efficiency, easy placement in the undercuts areas and is atraumatic to the defective mucosa [12]. The magnets were used as a retentive aid between the 1st and 2nd piece that has the advantage of ease of insertion and removal, automatic reseating, strong attractive forces and easy replacement if needed in future [13].…”

Maxillectomy is the surgical removal or resection of the maxilla or upper jaw bone. Maxillectomy may be total or partial. It is performed during surgical treatment of cancer and infections (bacterial. fungal) of the oral cavity, nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses. Patient affected from post-Covid mucormycosis require local debridement or surgical resection resulting in maxillectomy. After surgery, patient has difficulty in mastication, speech, and swallowing because of communication between oral and nasal cavity. This may also give rise to psychological challenges and social exclusion. The prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patient using obturator provide a separation between oral and nasal cavity and improve the quality of life of the patient. There are various techniques and materials used for fabrication of definitive obturator. This article discusses the prosthodontic rehabilitation after maxillectomy in post-covid mucormycosis patients using obturator by conventional and 3D printed techniques.

“…Because of their inability to properly masticate and communicate, edentulous individuals are classified physically incompetent, disabled, and handicapped by WHO guidelines. According to Peltzer et al, the prevalence of edentulism among old aged population in India is 16.3 percent [1,2].…”

Aims: Edentulism is correlated to poor self-esteem and depression in both young and old individuals due to social rejection. For edentulous patients who are not interested in removable prosthesis, implant-supported fixed prosthesis might be an appropriate treatment modality. The aim of this case report is to rehabilitate the completely edentulous patient with severe gag reflex by maxillary implant supported hybrid prosthesis and mandibular conventional complete denture. Presentation of case: A 58 years old female patient had reported to the outpatient wing of department of prosthodontics with chief complaint of missing teeth in maxillary and mandibular arches. Patient had a history of severe gagging and discomfort with old denture. The treatment progresses as six implant placed and hybrid prosthesis was fabricated in maxillary arch and conventional complete denture was fabricated in mandibular arch and delivered to the patient. Discussion: Implant-supported complete arch rehabilitation can be accomplished with either a fixed or removable prosthesis. For a satisfactory outcome, proper patient selection, accurate surgical procedure, and meticulous prosthetic planning are required. Cement-retained implant restorations are becoming more popular because they are simple, aesthetic, and cost-effective. However, such restorations are hard to retrieve, and any residual cement in the soft tissue around the implant might cause peri-implant illness. Conclusion: A screw retained fixed prosthesis was planned for this patient in maxillary arch and conventional complete denture in mandibular arch which gave a successful outcome and avoid gag reflex.
