Abstract
Extraction is a oral surgical procedure performed for the therapeutic removal of teeth from the oral cavity. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia due to defect in insulin secretion or action or both. Mucormycosisis nothing but an opportunistic fungal infection which mainly infects the immunocompromised patients. Consent is the legal issue that protects every patient’s right not to be touched or in any way treated without the patient’s authorization.Aim of this article is to review and overcome the increased chances of fungal infection in uncontrolled diabetes patients after dental extractions and how to manage such scenario and to avoid further legal issues. Since mucormycosis may occur secondary to tooth extraction, dentist must be familiar with the signs and symptoms of mucormycosis and about its serious complications to overcome any unfavorable outcome. Valid consent plays an important role in our dental practice and this is the only evidence that protects the dental surgeons from illegal issues.
