Edentulism from a long term results in high resorption of lower edentulous ridge which often pose a problem in stability of mandibular complete dentures. It is a challenge for a prosthodontist to rehabilitate those patients to near normal function, irrespective of the clinical picture. This paper presents neutral zone technique in a functional approach to overcome the problem of instability of lower dentures caused in patients by a more potential musculature.Downloads
