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.

Aim: To evaluate the stress on the surrounding structures of Aramany class I maxillectomy defect restored with different obturator prostheses.
Methods And Results: Definitive three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of Aramany class I defect rehabilitated with single- and two-piece closed bulb obturator prostheses was constructed based on patient computed tomography (CT) using a software. Unilateral defect restored with tripodal design single-piece closed bulb obturator was used as FE model 1- and two-piece magnet retained closed bulb obturators as FE model 2.

Handicap due to the loss of teeth in patients can be severe due to the impairment of masticatory function and facial disfigurement leading to negative psychological impact on the individual. To combat this, apart from the regular measures of positioning the teeth to obtain lip support, excellent denture esthetics can be achieved by providing additional support to the slumped tissues. This clinical report highlights a technique to provide support for sunken cheeks using detachable acrylic cheek plumpers, retained using iron-neodymium close-field magnets.
