Though pandemics have been a part of human history, the fight against corona has been unprecedented in many ways, while we continue to fight against the virus, several complications have been reported in people who have recovered. One such debilitating disease is the infamous Mucormycosis commonly known as black fungus. Mucormycosis generally effects the brain, eyes, jaw bone and teeth. It is so rapid and severe that many people lost their entire jaw and even eyes. This has severally affected their quality of life.

The vulnerable people being the downtrodden and Oral treatment protocol under General anaesthesia, being very upscale involving the Zygomatic Implants, which requires extraordinary expertise particularly these cases where a fistula will be formed from the mouth to the eye due to the absence of upper jaw bone and the floor of the eye, followed by specialized prosthesis, has thrown up an extra challenge to the health care.

With a good intention of making this treatment accessible to the people who cannot afford it, Dr.K.A.Reddy with his CFAIT team performed many life changing surgeries where the entire Upper teeth were restored even in the absolute “No Jaw cases” using the Zygoma and Pterygoid Implants, under the name MUCOR CARE FOUNDATION, a non-profitable organization with vision of health for all to make this treatment accessible to poor. The main mission of this foundation is to Educate, Prevent, Treat and Rehabilitate people.
