Abstract:
In fully edentulous patients with severe mandibular alveolar bone resorption, the retention and stability of a mandibular complete denture may be limited. There are two primary impression techniques for complete denture fabrication: the open-mouth impres-sion technique and the closed-mouth impression technique. These two methods differ in how they achieve retention and stability, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The study aims to compare the difference in supporting area, retention, and patient satisfaction between mandibular complete dentures fabricated using two impression techniques: the open-mouth impres-sion technique and the closed-mouth impression technique.
