This clinical report describes the fabrication of a sectioned mandibular complete denture for a patient with severe microstomia. Dovetails were created in the denture base to orient and secure the prosthesis.
Partial edentulism is a common clinical situation encountered by dentists in their daily practice. If left untreated, the early loss of molars or any other tooth often leads to migration of the neighboring teeth, leaving abnormal edentulous spaces to be restored. In this article, guidelines are described for analyzing simple and complex edentulous spaces as well as how to determine the size of pontics to be used through a simple sequence of steps. Within the context of this article, clinical examples are shown that illustrate the simple, normal parameters of this technique, which is also applicable to more complex restorative situations.
