Abstract :

Complete denture therapy is an age old form of dental treatment. Ridge atrophy poses a clinical challenge towards the fabrication of a successful prosthesis. Extreme resorption of the maxillary and mandibular denture bearing areas results in sunken appearance of cheeks, unstable and non retentive dentures. This article describes the step by step fabrication of a complete denture using neutral zone technique along with cheek plumpers attached to ensure a stable and aesthetic complete denture.
