Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5

Abstract

The most common problems among long term denture wearers is the unstable complete mandibular denture .Complete dentures are primarily mechanical devices, but since they function in the oral cavity, they must be in harmony with normal neuromuscular function, oral functions such as speech, mastication, swallowing, smiling, and laughing which involves the synergistic actions of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and floor of the mouth. . In order to have a favourable prognosis for the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be proper. In Neutral Zone Technique, the forces exerted by muscles of tongue and the cheek will tend to stabilize the denture rather than unseat it
