Abstract:
The rehabilitation of facial deformities is a challenging endeavour that necessitates customising the procedure for each patient. Significant physical and psychological impacts might arise as a result of the deformity in the orofacial region. Post-COVID rhino-orbital mucormycosis has led to rise in extraoral and intraoral defects since 2020. To avoid further surgery, an economical maxillofacial prosthesis is an excellent choice as it is aesthetic, durable, long-lasting and retentive. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of the patient with post-COVID mucormycosis maxillectomy and orbital exenteration using a magnet-retained closed bulb hollow acrylic obturator and room-temperature vulcanising silicone orbital prosthesis. To enhance retention, a spectacle and medical-grade adhesive were also used.
摘要:
面部畸形的康复是一项具有挑战性的工作,需要为每个患者定制程序。由于口面区域的畸形,可能会产生重大的身体和心理影响。自2020年以来,后鼻-眶毛霉菌病导致口外和口内缺陷增加。为了避免进一步的手术,经济的颌面假体是一个很好的选择,因为它是美学,耐用,持久和保持。此病例报告描述了使用磁铁保留的封闭式球形空心丙烯酸闭孔器和室温硫化硅胶眼眶假体对COVID毛霉菌病后上颌骨切除术和眼眶切除术后患者的假体康复。为了增强保留力,还使用了眼镜和医疗级粘合剂。
