Prosthodontic Management Of Microstomia With Split Denture- A Case Report

Restricted mouth opening is a major hindrance for a prosthodontist, as it limits the skill of the dentist for an accurate impression making, thereby interfering with the making of the final prosthesis. There are several factors which lead to restricted mouth opening or as said MICROSTOMIA, such as oral sub mucous fibrosis, carcinomas, TMD, accidental, genetic, iatrogenic etc. A number of treatment modalities have been proposed for treating these patients, which varies depending upon the amount of mouth opening.
