Abstract
Aim: The aim of this questionnaire-based study was to assess the level of awareness, knowledge, and attitude towards maxillofacial prosthesis in post- covid19 Mucormycosis patients amongst the dental practioners with respect to various factors like types of maxillofacial defects, different types of materials used for fabrication of prosthesis.Background: Maxillofacial prosthetics is a branch of Prosthodontics that aims to restore an individual's function and esthetics also improve the psychological state of a patient after a trauma or surgery. Most maxillofacial prostheses are made from dental impression materials and it is quite a long and technique sensitive job that requires many hardships and technical skills. Through CAD/CAM advancement, craniomaxillofacial defects can be corrected with more accurate preoperative planning, more precise implants, and shorter operation times.
