Abstract

Opportunistic mucormycosis is a life-threatening infection. Since there had not previously been a systematic review to highlight this issue, the purpose of the current review was to provide the most up-to-date summary of the frequency of cases of rhino-orbital-mucormycosis (ROM) following a tooth extraction.

In order to compile case reports and case series regarding post-extraction mucormycosis, the appropriate keywords were used to thoroughly search the PubMed, PMC, Google Scholar, and Ovid Embase databases. This included the human population that had language restrictions, including English literature. A table containing all of the patient’s characteristics’ details was created, analyzed based on various endpoints, and presented.
