Why it matters for dental
Prosthodontists and general dentists treating patients with severe mandibular resorption must weigh which impression technique yields the most accurate and stable denture foundation, directly affecting fit, retention, and patient satisfaction.
Key points
- Systematic review compiles evidence on prosthetic impression methods for severely resorbed mandibular ridges.
- Review focuses on techniques used when conventional impressions are inadequate due to extreme ridge resorption.
- Findings address clinical decision-making for complete-denture fabrication in challenging anatomical cases.
- Article appears in Nature’s Dentistry subject collection as a peer-reviewed systematic review.
