ABSTRACT
Appropriate preparation of the patient’s oral cavity for planned prosthetic treatment is an obligatory procedure, which often focuses on improving the quality of the prosthetic base. Depending on the case, it is sometimes necessary to make additional devices used when preprosthetic surgical procedures are performed. This study describes the case of a patient who underwent osteogingivoplasty and frenulotomy, whose healing period was supported with a softhard surgical plate made with thermoforming techniques.
