The Neutral Zone Approach: A Better Outcome for Resorbed Mandibular Ridges - A Case Report

Abstract

The neutral zone technique is an alternative method for creating complete dentures, particularly beneficial for patients with significantly atrophied (shrunken) jawbones. This approach focuses on constructing dentures that are shaped and stabilized by the
natural forces of the surrounding oral muscles and tissues. This clinical report details the process of creating complete dentures for a patient with poorly developed mandibular ridges using this technique.
