Abstract: Background: Impacted teeth are teeth that remain embedded in the alveolar bone and fail to erupt into the oral cavity due to obstruction by bone, soft tissue, or lack of eruptive path. Maxillary canines are among the most commonly impacted teeth after third molars and play an important role in facial aesthetics, arch stability, and functional occlusion. Surgical exposure combined with orthodontic traction is considered an effective treatment modality for......

Abstract: Objectives: Precise fabrication of complete dentures is essential to ensure optimal function, aesthetics, phonetics, and comfort for edentulous patients. Microstomia poses significant challenges for prosthodontic rehabilitation, particularly in completely edentulous patients, as restricted mouth opening complicates impression making, jaw relations, and prosthesis insertion. This case series describes two clinical scenarios of edentulous older adults with microstomia managed using modified impression techniques and sectional prostheses where indicated. The report emphasises the importance......
