Mucormycosis, or black fungus, is the world’s third most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection after candidiasis and aspergillosis. Of several kinds of mucormycosis infections, the rhinocerebral type is the most common one, and it can lead to severe oral and maxillofacial defects. As a result, medical-grade titanium alloy is often used to fabricate 3D-customized implants to reconstruct upper and mid-face bony defects. Patient-specific implants have thus revolutionized reconstructive surgery and its outcomes.
