Denture Stability In Compromised Mandibular Residual Ridge With Neutral Zone Technique
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 5
Abstract
One of the most common problems faced by mandibular complete denture patients is loose and unstable denture because of severely resorbed mandibular edentulous ridge. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patients with resorbed edentulous foundation is the most difficult treatment modality for the prosthodontist. To have a favourable prognosis for the complete denture, neutral zone technique is one of the most effective method with favourable prognosis to treat such patients. The neutral zone is defined as the area where the displacing forces of the lips, cheeks and tongue are neutralised. This is the zone where the natural dentition lies and where the artificial teeth should be arranged. This article presents the case of resorbed mandibular edentulous foundation in which neutral zone concept was applied in an effort to achieve a stable mandibular complete denture.
