{Abstract}: This case series aims to evaluate patients affected with post COVID-19 mucormycosis from clinical presentation to surgical and pharmacological treatment to improve the disease prognosis.<BR>This case series was conducted at a specialized surgery hospital in Baghdad Medical City for over 10 months. Fifteen cases who had mild to severe COVID-19 infections followed by symptoms similar to aggressive periodontitis, such as mobility and bone resorption around the multiple maxillary teeth, were included in this case series.<BR>All patients did not receive COVID-19 vaccination; seven had a history of diabetes mellitus type 2, another five patients had a history of diabetes-like syndrome during the COVID-19 infection, and the remaining three patients had no history of any systemic diseases. No intracranial involvement was seen in all patients, and bilateral sinus involvement was seen in three patients.<BR>Being highly suspicious of all patients affected with COVID-19 is highly recommended to avoid the complications of the late diagnosis of mucormycosis. In addition, our knowledge and methods in diagnosing and treating classical mucormycosis should be modified regarding post COVID-19 mucormycosis.
