ABSTRACT

Objectives: A maximum mouth opening that is smaller than the size of a complete denture can make prosthetic treatment challenging. This article describes a simple technique used to fabricate maxillary and mandibular custom sectional impression trays for making definitive impressions in patients with microstomia.

Key words

Dental impression technique - microstomia - definitive impression - sectional impression trays
