Abstract
The objective of any prosthodontic service is to restore the patient to normal function, contour, esthetics, speech and health. An optimum denture stability is difficult to achieve in conventional complete dentures especially in case of extremely resorbed mandibular ridges. Often patients with oral carcinomas have resection of the tongue, the floor of the mouth or the bone of the mandible. Post operatively, these patients encounter chewing, swallowing and speech problems. When both partial glossectomy and resorbed mandibular ridge are encountered together, oral rehabilitation of such patients is a challenge to the clinician. This case report describes management of 65yr old male patient with partial glossectomy and resorbed mandibular ridge using neutral zone technique. Keywords: Partial glossectomy,Resorbed mandibular ridge,Oral Rehabilitation.
