Abhishek Nagaraj, Turki Ibrahim Al Anazi, Mohammed Habab Alharbi

Abstract :

In literature, Neutral zone concept has been for long–time heralded as the best technique to improve stability of removable complete dentures. In recent times, the focus has entirely shifted to implants for unstable dentures. Every prosthetic case however should employ this concept to improve not only the superstructure stability but also to improve substructures� (implants and abutments) longevity.

This case report explains such a scenario in detail step–by–step where use of Neutral zone concept has shown marked improvement in denture stability as well as shape and form in comparison to previous dentures.
