Dr. Manu Rathee, Dr. Mahesh Goel, Dr. Amit Kumar Tamrakar

Abstract :

Complete denture treatment for edentulous patients is an age old form of dental treatment. Ridge atrophy presents a clinical challenge towards the faication of a successful prosthesis. Extreme resorption of the maxillary and mandibular denture beå areas results in sunken and wrinkled appearance of cheeks, unstable and non retentive dentures with resultant pain and discomfort. The loose and unstable lower complete denture is one of the most common problems faced by denture patients. Prosthodontic management of severely resorbed mandibular ridge in an edentulous patient using modified impression technique in denture faication is presented.
