  • Title: Fabrication of a sectional impression tray and sectional complete denture for a patient with microstomia and trismus: a clinical report.
    Author: Cura C, Cotert HS, User A.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2003 Jun; 89(6):540-3. PubMed ID: 12815346.
    Abstract:
    This article describes techniques used to fabricate mandibular and maxillary sectional trays and a folding maxillary complete denture for a patient with limited oral opening caused by scleroderma. For the foldable denture, the anterior teeth had to be arranged on a second base and the hinge fitted at a location higher than the denture base. These 2 factors increased the thickness of the denture and limited the volume of the tongue. Nevertheless, a single-piece denture base provided the patient with ease in placement and removal of the denture.
