“…Of the two, the latter accounts better for the different levels of loss that are seen around the mouth; the former is complicated by the fact that the muscle attachments are not fixed landmarks, with clear changes having been noted for the mentalis and buccinator muscles as the ridge recedes (Lammie, 1956;Osborne, 1963). …”

“…However, alterations in functional loading are unlikely to be the sole explanation for the reduction of residual ridges; otherwise, bone changes would not occur at the sites of insertion of the muscles of facial expression (Lammie, 1956). Such sites might be expected to undergo little reduction in function following tooth loss.…”

Following tooth loss, the mandible shows an extensive loss of bone in some individuals. This may pose a significant problem in the prosthodontic restoration of function and esthetics. The many factors which have been proposed as being responsible for the inter-individual variation in post-extraction remodeling mean that a perfunctory analysis of the literature, in which well-controlled, relevant studies are scarce, may not provide the whole story. This article reviews the local and systemic factors which may play a role in the post-extraction remodeling of the mandible. Since severe residual ridge resorption may occur even when the bone status in the rest of the skeleton is good and vice versa, it is concluded that local functional factors are of paramount significance. It is now essential to determine how they can be modified and applied to help maintain ridge height and quality in our aging, edentulous population.

“…Wright et al 19 indicated that the mandibular denture received more tongue pressure in the event of an increase in tongue size. Lammie 15 argued that in aging patients, mandibular posterior denture teeth should be arranged over the buccal shelf to provide increased tongue space and to facilitate the development of vertical facial denture polished surfaces against which an effective facial seal may be achieved and maintained. Tewary et al 20,21 stated that esthetic is improved by using neutral zone technique.…”

The average life expectancy of the population has increased, with advances in all the branches of medicine. Thus, a greater number of geriatric patients seek dental services. But due to various conditions they end up in edentulism for longer duration in later stages, which leads to problems related to loose-fitting dentures. As retention of the denture is compromised due to poor denture base foundation, the role of stability becomes even more important, which is achieved by neutral zone. The complete denture must not only fit the edentulous ridge, but its concave mechanical surfaces should fit against the tongue, cheeks, and lips. This case report presents management of Atwood's class V and VI resorbed ridge with neutral zone and management of flabby ridge with window technique.

“…13 ElGheriani 14 recommended that posterior maxillary denture teeth should be arranged to satisfy specific mathematical formulas based on natural intercanine width. Lammie 15 argued that in aging patients, mandibular posterior denture teeth should be arranged over the buccal shelf to provide increased tongue space and to facilitate the development of vertical facial denture polished surfaces against which, an effective facial seal may be achieved and maintained.…”
