This clinical report describes prosthetic rehabilitation applied to an edentulous patient with microstomia. Intraoral scanning was used for preliminary impressions, edentulous models were printed using a 3D printer, custom 2-piece impression trays for definitive impressions were made, and a 2-piece collapsible maxillary and a conventional mandibular denture were fabricated. Intraoral scanning is a useful alternative to conventional impression techniques and can be used safely in patients with microstomia for preliminary impressions.
