Neutral Zone Approach for Complete Denture Fabrication in a Severely Resorbed Residual Ridge
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Education - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the most challenging aspects of complete denture therapy is patients with atrophic residual alveolar ridges. The neutral zone technique is considered to be an important approach to those patients complaining of unstable dentures. In clinical cases with optimal bone availability, physiologically optimal denture contours and physiologically appropriate denture tooth arrangement should be achieved to maximize prosthesis stability, comfort, and function for patients. The aim of this technique is to arrange the denture teeth in harmony with the adjacent soft and hard tissue. This case report describes the simplest form of recording neutral zone in severely resorbed mandibular ridge.
