A patient with microstomia is a challenge for the prosthodontist at every stage of rehabilitation. A contemporary technique using sectional stock tray loaded with putty material and a rigid sectional custom tray incorporated with press button assembly for extra oral stabilisation has been described. The above two techniques were used to impart ease of tray insertion and comfort to the patient during impression making procedures. Also, a prefabricated easily available hinge was incorporated into the denture bases to facilitate easy intra-oral placement of the prosthesis.
