Aim:
To report the rehabilitation of a female patient, 40 years old, with a microstomia.
Case Report:
The Z-plasty surgery was performed in the region of the labial commissure to increase the mouth opening. In the mandible, two implants were installed in the interforaminal region and an overdenture with bar/clip attachment system was made. The maxilla was atrophic, with the presence of two bone sites in the intermaxillary suture region: the first one anterior to the incisive foramen and the second one in the middle of the hard palate. Two implants were placed without a graft in those sites. The conventional maxillary denture was converted into an overdenture with ball attachments system.
Conclusion:
Based on the presented case, with a 2-year follow-up, it can be concluded the validity of the use of the techniques of surgeries to increase the mouth opening, implants in intermaxillary suture and overdentures as rehabilitation therapy for patients with microstomia.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
