Abstract:

Complete denture prosthesis functions in an environment where muscles are predominantly strong in nature. Tongue with its spring like action can displace mandibular complete denture, even if it's highly retentive otherwise. Placing an occlusal table in an area of the mouth where the forces from either side of the denture are harmonious with the function of the denture improves patient compliance to the dentures. We present a case of an elderly male patient who reported with a complaint of the loose mandibular denture. While extra oral examination presented normal features, intra oral picture of the mandibular residual alveolar ridge (RAR) was that of severe resorption. Both maxillary and mandibular dentures were fabricated using the concept of the neutral zone to locate the occlusal surface. The material used in this case was a heat cure soft liner, that holds ideal properties in term of dimensional stability over a period of time.

Keywords:
