Abstract
The physical characteristics of the body of the mandible are altered considerably following the loss of the teeth .from the point of view of the treatment edentulous mandible becomes a different mandible. Following resorption of the alveolar process the vertical depth of the subsequent denture bearing area is considerably more; the resistance of the bone to trauma is further reduced by changes in the structure of the bone associated with the process of ageing. The aging process is also associated with significant changes in the vascularity, the endosteal blood supply from inferior dental vessels begins to disappear and the bone becomes increasingly dependent on the periosteal network of vessels, and so the treatment and management of edentulous mandible is always a challengeable and needs a perfect expert to perform the surgery.
