Abstract	A fungal disease known as mucormycosis spreads swiftly and is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality from molds belonging to the Mucorales order. The sinuses are the most often involved site when it comes to mucormycosis infection. Treatment options include systemic or local anti-fungal medications, surgical excision, and debridement. In order to restore function and aesthetics, a 52-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus spanning six to eight years, as well as treatment for mucormycosis that had been previously received elsewhere, presented to the oral surgery department. Quad zygomatic implants were planned for the purpose of rehabilitation. A three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scan of the face showed that the maxilla was significantly atrophic, and the damaged areas were surgically removed. The CBCT scan was used to finish the implant planning process. After all haematological examinations were completed, the patient was scheduled for surgery and a maxillary prosthesis based on quad zygomatic implants was planned.
