Abstract EN

The mandibular denture is more likely to be displaced during Function than the maxillary denture.

This situation is more pronounced with bone resorbtion .An impression technique for the polished surfaces of the denture that comes in contact with (lip, cheek, and tongue) was evaluated compared with conventional method of arbitrary carved surfaces.

The study was carried out on 13 patients and the result showed more satisfactory results in lower denture stability, by the patient’s comfort and clinical evaluation.

The study recommends the use of this technique to improve our service to our patients
