Abstract
Mandibular flexure is a phenomenon characterized by a reduction of the arch width caused by the action of various muscular groups involved during mastication. When flexure is pronounced and teeth or dental implants are rigidly splinted, mandibular flexure leads to a biomechanical environment detrimental to the longevity of the restoration. This clinical report presents the use of a dental plaster device as a diagnostic tool to determine the extent of mandibular flexure in an edentulous patient treated with a mandibular fixed complete denture.
