Conventional mandibular complete denture for patient with severe ridge resorption is challenging. The dental implant therapy may be a fascinating option for improving retention and stability however the neutral zone approach is an important alternative when implant therapy is impossible. Hence, residual ridge resorption becomes a challenging scenario for a clinician during fabrication of complete dentures. The neutral zone concept plays a significant role in overcoming these challenges. The neutral zone philosophy is based on the concept that for each individual patient there exists within the denture space a specific area where the function of the musculature will not unseat the denture and at the same time, where the forces generated by the tongue are neutralized by the forces generated by the lips and cheeks. Furthermore, denture stability is as much or more influenced by tooth position and flange contour as by any other factors. The modified neutral zone technique enhanced the stability of the partial denture. A marked improvement in esthetics, function and psychology was noticed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
