Abstract :
This case report presents a 56-year-old male
patient who underwent enucleation of the right eye
following a mucormycosis infection. After successful
treatment and healing, the patient soughtthe assistance of
the Department of Prosthodontics at Sri Aurobindo
Dental College for the fabrication of an orbital
prosthesis. Due to the absence of intraoral findings and
the presence of a deep defect without any undercut areas,
a spectacle-retained orbital prosthesis was chosenas the
optimal treatment approach. This case report highlights
the challenges encountered and the successful outcome
achieved through the utilization of this innovative
technique, underscoring the importance of
interdisciplinary collaboration in complex postmucormycosisrehabilitation cases.
