Abstract:

Rehabilitation of microstomia patients represents a great challenge. A maximal oral opening smaller than the size of a complete denture can make prosthetic treatment challenging. Patients with microstomia who must wear removable dental prostheses (RDPs) often face the difficulty of being unable to insert or remove a conventional RDP. A sectional-collapsible prosthesis is indicated for the prosthetic management of these patients, but reduced manual dexterity often makes intraoral manipulation of the prosthesis difficult. A single collapsible prosthesis is a better choice for functional rehabilitation of these patients. This presentation will describe in detail the Prosthodontic management of a patient with restricted mouth opening by an innovative and novel single collapsible removable prosthesis fabricated with heat-polymerized silicone soft liner and heat-cured acrylic resin.
