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.
Keywords: Mucormycosis, Orbital Prosthesis, Enucleation, Spectacle Retention, Case Report.
