Rehabilitation With an Obturator in Maxillary Defects
Sponsor: Menoufia University
Summary
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a lot of reporting of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases. Managing this condition posed a new challenge to clinicians. Management includes therapeutic drugs and aggressive surgical debridement. Due to the unpredictability of disease prognosis and the possible recurrence of the disease, rehabilitation with delayed surgical obturators is beneficial for patients. Hence, the current study aimed to evaluate the impact of delayed surgical obturators on quality of life of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis patients post-maxillectomies
Official title: Comparison of Quality of Life After Rehabilitation With an Obturator in Maxillary Defects Due to COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis and Oral Cancer.
