Summary
Microstomia, a condition limiting jaw opening, poses challenges for dental prosthetics. A sectional denture, fabricated in two pieces, offers an effective solution for easier insertion and removal in burn patients with microstomia.
Area of Science:
- Dental prosthetics
- Oral rehabilitation
- Maxillofacial prosthodontics
Background:
- Microstomia, characterized by limited mandibular opening, complicates prosthetic rehabilitation.
- Fabricating dental prostheses for microstomic patients presents significant challenges throughout the process.
Observation:
- This clinical report details the fabrication of a sectional denture specifically for microstomic patients with burns.
- The sectional denture design addresses the difficulties associated with limited mouth opening.
Findings:
- The described method involves creating a two-piece sectional denture.
- This innovative design facilitates easier insertion and removal for patients suffering from microstomia.
Implications:
- Sectional dentures represent a viable prosthetic solution for microstomic patients.
- This approach can improve the quality of life and oral function for individuals with microstomia due to burns.
