Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Atrophic Mandible with Neutral Zone Technique - A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: One of the most commonly faced problems among long term denture wearers is reduction in the denture foundation. Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed ridge is the most challenging therapy a prosthodontist to undertake. One of the methods used to solve this problem is the neutral zone technique. The neutral zone is the area where the displacing forces of the lips, cheeks, and tongue are in balance .It is in this zone that the natural dentitions lie and this is where the artificial teeth should be positioned. This area of minimal conflict may be located by using the neutral zone technique. This article presents the application of neutral zone (NZ) concept being incorporated to achieve successful complete denture therapy. Keywords: Neutral zone, Atrophic mandible, Stability
