COVID-19 infection results in an immunocompromised state due to the steroid therapy administered to patients and the infection itself. The presence of co-morbidities makes patients more susceptible to acquire mucor infection. Mucormycosis spreads rapidly, associated with aggressive angioinvasion, leading to ischemic necrosis of surrounding tissues. Due to its rapid spread and angioinvasion, mucormycosis is associated with increased mortality and morbidity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Treatment Planning:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early diagnosis and proper treatment planning are crucial to prevent further spread of infection, where dentists play an important role.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case series is mainly focused on patients reported to the oral medicine department with complaints of discomfort or mobility of teeth in the maxillary region while explaining the role of dentists in diagnosing and treating the disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijdr.ijdr_732_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,4]],"date-time":"2024-01-04T07:01:08Z","timestamp":1704351668000},"page":"323-328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mucormycosis in COVID-19 Patients \u2013 A Case Series from a Dental College in South India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Annapoorani","family":"Sevagaperumal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, CSI College of Dental Sciences and Research, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
