title: Application of cast iron-platinum keeper to a collapsible denture for a patient with constricted oral opening: a clinical report.
abstract: Insertion of a denture is especially difficult for patents with a constricted oral opening. This report describes the fabrication of a collapsible removable partial denture with a cast iron-platinum attachment for a partially edentulous woman with a constricted oral opening resulting from rheumatoid arthritis and a craniotomy for a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
