case_images: Hence, the choice was made to fabricate a mandibular sectional impression tray for each half of the arch by manually molding soft wax to the ridge, intraorally (Figure 3(a)). Then, the sectional special trays were reinforced by the autopolymerizing acrylic resin extraorally (Figure 3(b)).
case_images: Primary impressions. (a) maxillary primary impression; (b) Right sectional mandibular impression; (c) left sectional mandibular impression.

case_images: Care was taken during border molding to correctly record the peripheral extension, as the vestibular depth and width were shallow (Figures 5(a) and 5(b)).

case_images: By making the mandibular record base, as possible, shorter and thinner and with patient cooperation, jaw relation record was obtained with the use of occlusion rims oriented to the established vertical dimension of occlusion, the anatomic occlusal plane, and the patient's centric relation (Figure 6(a)). The mandibular wax occlusal rim thus obtained was very short because of the reduction of the vertical prosthetic space which complicated the teeth arrangement (Figure 6(b)).
