    Author: Ladha K, Gill S, Gupta R, Verma M.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2012; 60(3):e166-9. PubMed ID: 22623474.
    Abstract:
    Providing a complete denture for a patient with an atrophic mandibular ridge presents a unique challenge for dentists. Retention, stability, and support must be considered when fabricating and fitting a complete denture. This article highlights the use of the neutral zone technique for successful complete denture therapy in a patient with an atrophic mandibular ridge, with special emphasis on the role of coverage of genial tubercles for maximum prosthesis support and stability.
