“…Microstomia is defined as an abnormally small oral orifice and impairs speech, feeding, oral hygiene, and dental treatment . This condition may be the result of genetic disorders, surgical treatments of orofacial neoplasia, lip fissures, burn, radiotherapy, or scleroderma . In 80% of patients with scleroderma, there is the presence of microstomia …”

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.

Restricted mouth opening is a definite prosthodontic hindrance to carry out treatment successfully. Restricted mouth opening can be due to many reasons such as microstomia, oral submucous fibrosis, some genetic disorder, and as a result of some surgical treatment. In the past, various techniques for prosthetic rehabilitation of limited oral opening have been tried such as surgeries, use of dynamic opening devices, magnetic devices, and modification of denture design. Here we present; a simplified technique and simple design for fabrication of maxillary hinged and mandibular hinged and sectional complete denture for a patient with restricted mouth opening due to oral submucous fibrosis.
