Abstract

Incorrect tooth placement and arbitrary shaping of the polished surfaces may have an adverse effect on the success of the prosthesis. This is particularly true for patients with reduced mandibular residual ridges, yielding flat or concave foundations due to severe bone resorption.The neutral zone technique is an alternative technique for the construction of complete dentures with severely resorbed ridges. It is the most effective method for the management of lower denture instability. The technique is by no means new but is a valuable practical approach to clinicians.
