Digitally designed and manufactured sectional custom tray for a patient with microstomia: A case report

Abstract

AbstractMicrostomia presents a challenge for the patient and dental provider. This report describes a partial digital workflow for the fabrication of a mandibular complete denture for a patient with microstomia. Computer‐aided design and computer‐aided manufacturing technology was utilized to 3D print a sectional custom tray with a unique design. The sectional custom tray was used to make a conventional border molded impression of the edentulous arch to fabricate a flexible complete mandibular denture for a 58‐year‐old female patient with scleroderma and microstomia. This treatment resulted in a successful prosthetic outcome and high patient satisfaction.
