Introduction: Patients affected with mucormycosis of maxilla have been increasing following Covid-19 infections. We followed the reconstruction of the maxilla using 3D manufactured patient-specific implants. The additive manufacturing technology is capable of fabricating custom-made titanium implants precisely for oral and maxillofacial reconstructions.

Study: In this study five different maxillary pathologies were approached through Dieffenbach's modification of Weber-Fergusons approach. Partial and subtotal procedures were performed depending on the type of pathology and the extent of the lesion which was assessed both clinically and radiologically.
