Abstract
Mouth opening limitation is one of the symptoms in the oral cavity after head and neck radiotherapy. It is considered as a challenge for the dentist to perform any intraoral procedures.
For these patients, the prosthetic steps are complicated by the limitation of the mouth opening. This complexity manifests itself from the impression phase. In this clinical report, flexible impressions and digital impressions were made to overcome the reduced access to the oral cavity.
We emphasize the interest of mouth exercise physiotherapy before prosthetic procedures in order to increase mouth opening and facilitate prosthetic treatment.
