Post‐COVID‐19 maxillary osteonecrosis and floating maxillary teeth due to mucormycosis in two uncontrolled diabetic patients

Abstract

Abstract Mucormycosis is a rare, invasive, quickly progressing fungal infection that generally affects patients who are immunocompromised. If left untreated, the disease is characterized by progressive necrosis and is often fatal. We present two cases of post‐COVID‐19 mucormycosis with a history of several years of uncontrolled diabetic mellitus.
