This clinical case highlights the failure of long length implants, and the prosthodontic procedures necessary to rehabilitate the maxillary dentition of a patient with microstomia. The integrated digital technology of intra-oral scanning, computer-aided design, and three-dimensional printing can provide an alternative method to make conventional impressions for patients with microstomia who cannot insert the appropriate tray in their mouths.
