📝Abstract

Complete denture stability and retention depends upon its coordination with the surrounding muscles and oral structures. Improper position of teeth will make the denture unstable during talking, swallowing and mastication. Thus the denture teeth should be placed in' neutral zone' where the displacing forces of tongue, lips, cheeks and modulus are balanced. This is a case report in which neutral zone impression technique was used to solve the problem of denture instability especially in patients who cannot afford implant retained dentures.

KEYWORDS: resorption, stability, retention, neutral zone, mandibular denture.
