Alveolar ridge atrophy poses a clinical challenge towards the fabrication of a successful prosthesis. Resorption of denture bearing areas results in an unstable non-retentive dentures associated with pain and discomfort. Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed ridge is the most challenging therapy a prosthodontist can undertake. For a favourable prognosis of the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be based on the present state of the basal tissue support. This article presents rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed mandibular ridge with the application of neutral zone concept being incorporated into impression making in an effort to achieve successful complete denture therapy. Finally, patient had more stable, retentive and functionally efficient complete denture. In conclusion, neutral zone impression technique proved to be a quite effective method for prosthetic rehabilitation of patient with severe mandibular ridge resorption.

One of the most challenging cases dentists face is the rehabilitation of atrophic mandibular residual alveolar ridges. Such ridges present with a multitude of problems such as decrease in the denture foundation, retention and stability. Instability of denture bases can also give rise to an error in the maxillo-mandibular registrations. The neutral zone concept aims at the construction of complete dentures in the potential denture space, which ensures optimal denture contours and physiological arrangement of denture teeth as determined by the patient’s oral musculature, to enhance the stability and function of the prosthesis. This article presents a classical technique of recording the patient’s neutral zone with an improvised clinical step to record the patient’s maxillo-mandibular relation functionally. This technique can be practised routinely in cases of atrophied mandibular residual ridges to provide the patients with optimal complete denture therapy. Key Words: Neutral zone, resorbed mandibular ridges, maxillo-mandibular records, denture stability

Providing denture service in a completely edentulous situation especially to a patient with poor mandibular foundation is a challenge to the skills of the operator. Recent treatment methodologies like implant supported prosthesis have considerably mitigated the problems faced in such patients. But, implant dentistry may not be feasible in all situations due to certain anatomic limitations and compromised patient health status. Conventional complete dentures with advanced techniques are the only answer in such situations. In the process of fabricating complete denture for a patient with poor mandibular foundation, the placement of the teeth, and contouring of flanges has been debated by various doyens of the science. The piezography technique using the Neutral Zone concept has emerged a strong forerunner in providing good stability and retention in patients having poor mandibular foundation.

Resorption of mandibular ridges is a multifactorial and biomechanical disease that is chronic, progressive,irreversible, and cumulative leading to loss of sulcular depth, vertical dimension loss, and decreased lowerfacial height. Some common neurological, hormonal, and metabolic disorders affect the adaptability ofdentures, and this can be diagnosed by a trained prosthodontist with proper history-taking and clinicalexamination. The denture becomes passive due to complex neuromuscular control and causes difficultiesin impression-making, mastication, and swallowing, which in turn leads to loss of retention and stability incomplete dentures. The loose and unstable lower complete denture is one of the most common problemsfaced by denture patients. One of the methods used to solve this problem is the neutral zone technique.Neutral zone technique is long being used for the management of severely resorbed mandibular ridges. Thepiezography technique, a special functional approach is described in order to overcome the difficulties of themandibular denture. Piezography, prosthetic space recorded by pronunciation, can be used as a reference forarrangement of artificial teeth and polishing surface of a denture.

ABSTRACT Over denture is favoured treatment modality for an elderly patient with few remaining teeth, because of adaptation to wearing is facilitated. Roots maintained under the denture base preserve the alveolar ridge, provide sensory feedback and improve the stability of the dentures. In comparison with complete dentures, overdentures may provide better functions. The most common problem of mandibular complete denture is retention & stability and alveolar ridge resorption; hence care must be taken to preserve it.

The aim of this study was to present a case report of the surgical removal of hyperplasia in the oral cavity, using carbon dioxide (CO2) laser radiation and rehabilitation with a complete denture. Epulis fissuratum occurs in complete denture patients, because a constant irritative action induces the mucosa to grow under poorly fitting dentures. These lesions must be removed, and to avoid a relapse, new complete dentures should be made to maintain healthy surgical tissues. The clinical sequence presented in this case shows a completely edentulous patient with epulis fissuratum on the lower alveolar ridge extending to the vestibular sulcus of the anterior region of mandible. Immediate complete dentures were made prior to the lesion removal with CO2 laser radiation, providing satisfactory results in oral function and tissue health.

AbstractOne of the most commonly faced problems among long term denture wearers is the reduction in the denture foundation. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed ridge is the most challenging therapy a prosthodontist can undertake. In order to have a favourable prognosis for the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be based on the present state of the basal tissue support. This article presents the application of neutral zone concept being incorporated in impression making to achieve successful complete denture therapy.
