Management of the Mandibular Compromised Ridge: A Literature Review and Case Report

Abstract

ABSTRACT Restoration of the mandibular compromised ridge requires various treatment modalities. The simplest approach often is to extend the denture base adequately for proper use of all available supporting tissues. To achieve this goal a good impression of the mandibular resorbed ridge is very important. The impression should be able to record the tissue in a static as well as in functional form. The aim of this article is to review various impression procedures for resorbed mandibular ridges and to describe functional impression technique in a patient with resorbed mandibular ridge. The ultimate goal, regardless of the treatment modality chosen, is to restore the patient to a level of satisfactory masticatory function. How to cite this article Dabas N, Dabas A, Yadav H.
