Abstract Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Once the maxilla and orbit are involved, surgical resection and debridement of the necrosed areas can result in extensive defects .in prosthetic rehabilitation of such cases the major challenge is the replacement of misssing soft and hard tissues following surgical resection. Hence an acceptable replacement of such defects becomes a challenge to maxillofacial prosthodontists. This case series describes two cases of post mucormyosis rehabilitation. The first case describes the fabrication of an orbital silicone prosthesis retained with medical grade adhesive and the second case describes fabrication of a hollow bulb obturator for hemimaxillectomy. The final prosthesis in both the cases were esthetically pleasing, functionally efficient and boosted the patient’s morale, encouraging them to lead a normal life.
