Abstrakt:	Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that usually affects patients with immunocompromised conditions. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the following corticosteroid therapy, mucormycosis prevalence has increased. The situation may be more complicated with some underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus. In addition, due to the vicinity of maxillary bone to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, which are the main routes for the infection to spread, dentists, maxillofacial radiologists, and surgeons may be the first to encounter these patients. Post-COVID mucormycosis osteomyelitis is one of the complications of this infection Bone destruction and the erosion or breach of cortical boundaries of the maxilla and the bone structures in the vicinity of paranasal sinuses are the most critical radiographic findings of post-covid osteomyelitis. Herein, there are some cases of post-covid mucormycosis osteomyelitis involving the maxillary and other facial bones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
