Harnessing The Power of The Neutral Zone Concept for Improved Outcomes – A Case Report

Abstract Mandibular ridge resorption is a complex, degenerative condition characterized by relentless bone loss, compromising denture stability. This irreversible process leads to diminished sulcular depth, reduced vertical dimension, and decreased lower facial height. Patients with long-term complete dentures face significant challenges due to the disproportionate resorption rate of the lower edentulous ridge compared to the upper jaw. For prosthodontists, rehabilitating patients with severely resorbed ridges poses a significant clinical challenge. This article showcases the effective integration of the neutral zone concept into impression techniques to enhance complete denture success
