Surgery for palate lesions may result in oro-nasal/antral communication, which reduces a person's quality of life by affecting swallowing, speech, and food reflux. The shape and size of this obturator prosthesis might vary based on the severity of the defect. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of the patient with post-COVID mucormycosis and generalized attrition of teeth using an obturator and full mouth rehabilitation.
