Using a Modified Neutral Zone Technique to Obtain Maxillary and Mandibular Impressions in 1 Stage for Construction of a Denture for a Mandibular Defect Patient: A Technical Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Fabrication of a complete denture for the post-surgical intraoral carcinoma patient can be difficult because of the severe limitation in the oral opening. The neutral zone concept can be used for such cases. The purpose of this case report is to describe a modified neutral zone impression technique designed to obtain maxillary and mandibular impressions in one stage in preparation for construction of a mandibular denture when insertion of fabricated impression trays is impossible due to the partial resection of the mandible. This technique reduces the total chair time during construction of the dentures.

Using the neutral zone to obtain maxillomandibular relationship records for complete denture patients.
A technique for obtaining maxillomandibular registration for complete denture patients is presented. The maxillary rim is formed with the use of conventional techniques. The mandibular rim is made from modeling plastic impression compound on a record base formed by the patient into the neutral zone. The mandibular rim then is reheated, and the patient determines the occlusal vertical dimension ...
متن کاملA Technique to Guide and Measure the Reduction of a Processed Mandibular Complete Denture for Resilient Soft Liner
A resilient soft liner (RSL) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture’s intaglio surface. Use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic K-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive RSL is described in the present report. A proce...

Introduction: The purpose of beading & boxing of an impression is to obtain an accurate cast with proper border & base thickness for fabrication of restorations. Beading is the protection of the formed border thickness of the final impressions & Boxing of an impression is building up vertical walls around it. Aim: The purpose of this hybrid technique of beading and boxing is to produce a smooth...

Aim: Surgical removal of tumors in the mandible leads to discontinuity of bone which requires surgical reconstruction of the defect to provide a suitable tissue foundation for an acceptable prosthesis. At times when reconstructive surgeries are not possible, prosthetic rehabilitation is a successful alternative. In the present article, prosthetic rehabilitation using neutral zone technique has ...
متن کاملComplete Denture in Neutral Zone: Case Report
Fabrication of complete dentures using the neutral zone technique is neither recent nor original. During the past few decades, many articles which have incorporated or related to what we have named the ‘‘neutral zone technique’’ have been published. The aim of this case report is to describe the technique to fabricate a mandibular complete denture in muscular balance, as muscular control will b...
