Abstract

A maximum mouth opening that is smaller than the size of a complete denture can make prosthetic treatment challenging.

Also simple design for fabrication of maxillary and mandibular hinged and sectional complete denture for a patient with restricted mouth opening due to oral submucous fibrosis.
