Abstract

Construction of complete denture on a severely resorbed ridge is difficult because retention stability and support are compromised in those cases. Modifications in impression technique like usage of Admix [McCord and Tyson] technique and application of certain principles like neutral zone concept improves the stability of the dentures. In Admix [McCord and Tyson] technique a viscous admixes of impression compound and low fusion compound is used to remove any soft tissue fold and smoothen them over the mandibular bone. The neutral zone was recorded to determine the space within which the denture could be seated without being subjected to excessive displacing forces from the surrounding musculature. This is a clinical case report of the construction of complete dentures using Admix [McCord and Tyson] technique and neutral zone technique.
