Patient:
The patient was a 48-year-old partially edentulous male with microstomia. His chief complaints were masticatory disturbance and aesthetic problems caused by missing teeth. After trayless impressions for diagnostic casts were made, sectional trays and a sectional record block were used for the definitive impression and maxillomandibular registration. Maxillary and mandibular acrylic sectional dentures were simultaneously delivered.
Discussion:
Low caries activity, minimal occlusal force, appropriate plaque control, and simple designs for connecting portions of the two halves of the sectional dentures might lead to satisfactory results in this case.
Conclusion:
No problems have been observed for approximately 6 years after delivery of the acrylic sectional dentures for this microstomic patient.
