Management of cawood class V mandibular ridge using “Dynamic impression technique”: A case report

Abstract

Residual ridge resorption is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and cumulative disease. Stability is defined as resistance to horizontal displacement of prosthesis. Providing a stable lower denture has been challenging for dentists. This article outlines the management of the mandibular ridge resorption with dynamic impression technique. Stability of complete lower dentures has challenged dentists and patients alike. Dynamic impression technique is clinically significant for management of resorbed mandibular ridge, as the range of action of the muscles and other structures that relate to the denture space is recorded by an impression so that the denture can be shaped accordingly.
