| description | Restoring the patient’s missing dentition secondary to partial mandibulectomy of KCOT is important to improve function and
aesthetics. The patient presented with a significant loss of alveolar bone which makes the fabrication of rehabilitation prosthesis
a significant challenge. A neutral-zone impression technique is helpful in determining the exact space to be restored without
compromising aesthetics and it avoids functional muscle displacement that may displace the prosthesis. This article describes
the neutral zone impression technique to record a patient's functional muscular movement in guiding the setting of acrylic teeth
and denture flange in the neutral zone area. This technique is very useful for postsurgical cases with significant loss of alveolar bone. |
