Mucormycosis infection involving the maxilla spreads rapidly leading to the palatal perforation and necrosis of the bone, which eventually leads to intraoral communication between the oral and nasal cavities leading to difficulty in speech, deglutition, and mastication. Although surgical reconstruction is the best treatment modality, reconstruction of large defects still remains questionable, so prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patients restores normal functioning, enhances aesthetics, and boosts the confidence of the patient. This case presentation describes the amalgam of both conventional and digital techniques to bring out an economical and effective possible treatment modality for the rehabilitation of such patients. This case report entails the usage of a digitally fabricated precision attachment retained definitive prosthesis as a simple and effective approach to restore the acquired maxillary defect following mucormycosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_130_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T13:03:36Z","timestamp":1721912616000},"page":"332-336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Digitally fabricated precision attachment with cast partial framework retained obturator in a partial maxillectomy patient following mucormycosis: A case report"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Sujata","family":"Chahal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Pt.
