Dealing with cases with severe residual ridge resorption

– Denture space recording and dynamic impression –

Abstract

In order to stabilize complete dentures for patients with severe ridge resorption in edentulous jaws, it is very effective to record the dynamics of the denture space and fabricate dentures in harmony with this. On the other hand, no matter how accurately precision impressions are taken during denture fabrication, the mucosal surface and margins of the definitive cast cannot be accurately reproduced in the finished denture due to various problems. Therefore, it is necessary to correct it using a dynamic impression after completing the denture. Representative denture space recording methods and the clinical technique of dynamic impression are described.
