title: Evaluation of impression tray techniques in microstomic patients.
abstract: Three different methods of constructing impression trays for patients suffering from microstomia have been described. When sectional trays with connectors are designed, proper alignment of the sections is necessary for satisfactory results. Flexible trays, or even silicone putty without a tray, can be used for making preliminary impressions in these cases.
