comparative study of selective pressure impression technique and neutral zone approach in atrophic mandibular ridges

ABSTRACT

Mandibular denture instability is a common problem in patients with atrophic mandibular ridges. Various methods had been employed by the profession to overcome this problem. In this study selective pressure impression technique and neutral zone have been compared. Certain factors are better achieved by one technique and others by second method. But statistically neutral zone concept yielded relatively better outcome:
