# Rehabilitation of a Patient With Maxillary Defect and Severe Attrition Using Obturator Prostheses: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report describes the successful use of obturator prostheses to rehabilitate a patient with a maxillary defect and severe tooth wear.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel prosthetic rehabilitation approach for a patient with post-COVID mucormycosis and generalized dental attrition.

## Key findings

- Obturator prostheses effectively restored function and appearance in a patient with a maxillary defect.
- Full mouth rehabilitation improved the patient's swallowing, speech, and food reflux issues.
- The treatment approach was successful in managing post-COVID mucormycosis-related complications.

## Abstract

Surgery for palate lesions may result in oro-nasal/antral communication, which reduces a person's quality of life by affecting swallowing, speech, and food reflux. The shape and size of this obturator prosthesis might vary based on the severity of the defect. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of the patient with post-COVID mucormycosis and generalized attrition of teeth using an obturator and full mouth rehabilitation.
