Oral rehabilitation using a sectional maxillary complete denture and mandibular removable partial denture for a patient with microstomia: A clinical report
This report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a 79-year-old woman with severe microstomia following surgical management of facial burns. The limited oral opening was addressed by using a digital workflow to design a sectional maxillary complete denture incorporating a segmented cobalt chromium base with Novaloc attachments for intraoral assembly.
