Popis: 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.
