Abstract


The goal of any prosthodontic operation is to restore the patient's natural shape, speech, function, appearance, and general health. However, obtaining the best possible denture stability in conventional full dentures continues to be difficult, especially when there is resorption of the mandibular ridges. A method for enhancing mandibular full denture retention in patients with significantly resorbed ridges is presented in this article. A patient who wanted his dentures replaced came to the Department of Prosthodontics with loose dentures. The mandibular ridge was found to be badly resorbed after a thorough clinical examination. Prosthetic rehabilitation using the neutral zone approach was scheduled following a comprehensive examination. When compared to the patient's prior dentures, the final full denture showed much better stability, functionality, and appearance. Recognizing the benefits of the neutral zone approach and applying it to clinical practice is critical for physicians. With this method, the patient is guaranteed to receive a prosthesis that meets their functional, physiological, and psychological needs. Using this approach, practitioners can give patients prostheses that fulfill their demands and enhance their quality of life.
