The technique of neutral zone is useful. It is the convergence of many concepts and ideas into a feasible and functional method. The technique aims to build a denture in accordance with the underlying oral structures that are formed by muscle function. It acts as an alternative technique in case of highly atrophic ridges. With a history of denture instability, it is most successful. This paper seeks to provide information with an enclosure of a patient input study to use the technique.
Stem cells are biological cells that are undifferentiated and can be differentiate into specialized cells. They are of embryonic or adult stem cell. Another classification is dental pulp and bone marrow-derived. Bone marrow type stem cells are commonly used for regenerative procedures in prosthodontics. They have excellent regenerative ability without neoplasm formation. They help to build the bone structures of the craniofacial region, particularly the maxilla and mandible. Stem cell therapy can revolutionize next era in regenerative prosthodontics.
Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common birth defect. Rehabilitation of such defects requires a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment can range from simple removable appliances to fixed prosthesis using implants. The size of the defect, age and socioeconomic status influences the treatment planning. This case report describes a conservative approach to rehabilitate a maxillary defect with missing teeth using a heat polymerized acrylic resin improving the function, esthetics and speech.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
