description Here we present a clinical case of microstomia with the focus on the oral rehabilitation of the patient. Microstomia, an abnormal contracture of the mouth, occurred in this case as a result of alveolar resection due to cancer, and scarring impeded mouth opening. The patient needed a partial removable laminar denture for the upper jaw. Prosthetics became possible upon normalization of oral mucosa. We describe the imprint preparation features in conditions of lacking right alveolar appendix and crossover fold after surgery. The formation of the wax board in combination with molding allowed demarcation of denture border. The laminar denture successfully replaced jaw and teeth defects, restored proper mastication, improved mouth moistening and speech, as well as facial aesthetics and quality of life.
