Dear practo user,
Jaw prosthesis can given over remaining tissue or zygoma or pterygoid implants.
We can do bone grafting too. We are regularly doing rehabilitation of jaws affected with mucormycosis.
Can share details in chat box for definite treatment plan.

don't panic, it can be restored and you can lead normal life with prosthesis.

Implant supported Dentures might help. But need to evaluate current bone density first .
Consult nearest Dental office for the same.
Good Day.
