Abstract Oral functions involve unique interplay of oral structures and muscles. Any interference with their movements by a denture would result in denture instability. If the denture is placed in a zone where the displacing forces of tongue, lips, cheeks and modiolus are balanced, then the denture will be retained more effectively during function. This zone is known as neutral zone. If the denture strays outside/inside the neutral zone it will be unstable during the activities such as talking, swallowing and mastication. The neutral zone technique is used to minimize the displacing forces of the surrounding structures. This is a case report in which neutral zone impression technique was used to solve the problem of denture instability.

And Function

Patients with resorbed mandibular ridge poses a challenge for prosthodontic rehabilitation. The ongoing diminution of denture foundation defies the basic mechanism of denture stability and support. The technique of neutral zone to construct a denture that is shaped by muscle function and is in harmony with the surrounding oral structures can remarkably improve prognosis of such patients. The neutral zone is the area in the oral cavity where during function; the forces of the cheeks and lips pressing inward neutralize the forces of the tongue pressing outward. Thus physiologically optimal teeth arrangement and harmonious denture contours and can be achieved to maximize prosthesis stability, comfort, and function for patients. This clinical report describes rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed mandibular ridge using neutral zone impression technique.

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.

Functional Movements

Aim: This article described a physiological impression technique to design denture surfaces by the action of the surrounding musculature during functional movements based on "neutral zone concept" in patients with severely atrophied mandibular ridge. Methodology: Dual surface impression technique was employed for the fitting and polished surface using silicone impression material. Results: This technique provided a stable base with correct borders to perform all functional movements of the lips, cheeks, and tongue. Conclusion: The patient improved the ability to maintain the adaptive muscle behaviors necessary to control the denture movement in function and rest.   How to cite this article: Abdel-Khalek EA, Said MM.

Clinical Conditions

Brief Background Fabrication of any dental prosthesis over a compromised residual alveolar ridge is really a challenge for prosthodontists. Fibrous or flabby ridge and highly resorbed residual alveolar ridge are two clinical situations that require special considerations during construction of any prosthesis. Mobile soft tissue and flattened alveolar ridge significantly compromise denture stability and support. There are different treatment modalities to manage these clinical conditions like surgical excision of soft tissue, ridge augmentation, modification in impression technique, etc. Materials and Methods This case report is about an old completely edentulous male patient who reported with a complaint of difficulty in chewing with his present denture. Discussion Prosthodontic management of a patient with compromised residual alveolar ridges needs special consideration . Selection of treatment modality depends on patients general health ,clinical condition of residual alveolar ridges , financial capacity and skill of the clinician A modification from conventional impression procedure was used to record maxillary flabby anterior ridge and neutral zone concept was applied for teeth arrangement to improve denture stability in atrophied lower alveolar ridge. Summary and Conclusions Surgical removal of soft tissue and implant supported prosthesis may not be possible in all situations. In that case a conservative approach using modified impression technique, neutral zone concept provides the basic triad of a successful denture prosthesis that is retention, stability and support.

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.
