title: Correction of microstomia in an edentulous patient.
abstract: The problem of small oral aperture is big. Irrespective of the etiology, this problem may be overcome by adjunctive therapies in the form of prosthesis, surgery, or exercise. A patient is described with this problem, which was overcome by revisiting the 3 adjunctive therapies including a commissural stent designed with the patient's edentulous state in mind.
