Abstract

Microstomic patients may experience a significant limitation in the mandibular opening. The prosthetic rehabilitation of microstomic patients presents difficulties at all stages, from preliminary impressions to prosthetic fabrication. This clinical report described the method of fabrication of sectional denture for patients with microstomia caused by burns. The denture was fabricated in two pieces, and patients inserted and removed the denture easily.

Keywords: Dental impression technique; denture; microstomia.
