Abstract:
Using the neutral zone concept can increase the stability of the prosthesis. In this case, bimaxillary denture were fabricated using the neutral zone in a patient who had alveolar ridge resorption and inwardly positioned lip. This condition was unfavorable for obtaining stability of the denture, so the force involved in denture had to be minimized. There were differences in the tooth arrangement and shape of the polished surface between the definitive denture made using the neutral zone impression technique and the provisional denture made without using it.
