ABSTRACT
Prosthodontic rehabilitation and management of microstomia patient presents challenges at all stages during prosthesis fabrication; from making primary impressions to the prostheses insertion. These patients have reduced mouth opening, and hence it can be extremely challenging to make impressions and to fabricate dentures using the conventional methods. The present case report describes prosthodontic management of a partially dentate patient with microstomia that developed secondary to surgical resection and radiation therapy of head and neck cancer. A simplified novel approach has been advocated using the patient’s existing metal removable partial denture as a key in master cast preparation.
