[Microstomia as a complication of scleroderma].

Scleroderma is a rare connective tissue disease of unknown origin. It is characterized by increased collagen deposition leading to fibrosis and degeneration of the skin and sometimes of internal organs. There are two main groups of scleroderma: circumscribed scleroderma and systemic sclerosis. Circumscribed scleroderma is limited to the skin and systemic sclerosis has involvement of internal organs. The main oral manifestation of scleroderma is microstoma, which is a limiting factor in oral selfcare and professional oral health care. A case report is presented of the treatment of a 15-year-old female scleroderma patient with microstoma.

[The problem of taking dental impressions in acquired microstomia].

Two cases of severe cicatricial atresia of the oral rima with total edentia are reported. These patients present considerable problems when impressions of the dental arches have to be obtained. To make the labial tissues more elastic and in the attempt to increase rimal space, a perilabial collar of resin is made. Using the normal silicon-based synthetic elastomers, a first mould can be obtained directly in the mouth. This in its turn is filled with a more fluid elastic material and set in the mouth. From this initial impression, a chalk model can be obtained and from this an individual silicon mould is made from which a more accurate final impression is possible. In order to adjust the occlusion and test the teeth, a resin plate is prepared. This can be detached from the wax and fitted into the mouth. The standard methods are then employed to make the body of the prosthesis.
