Oral rehabilitation of resorbed mandibular ridges utilizing various techniques for implant-supported prosthesis through conventional and digital approach: A case series.

Residual ridge resorption (RRR) is an inevitable physiological process occurring after the extraction of teeth. The annual rate of resorption is thought to be more in the mandible as compared to the maxilla leading to loss of support and retention in the mandibular conventional prosthesis. The compromised retention and stability of conventional dentures in the mandible lead to the denial of a patient to wear the prosthesis. Rehabilitation of resorbed ridges using implant-supported prosthesis has led to enhanced retention and an increase in chewing efficiency, leading to better acceptance of prosthesis by the patient. This case series describes the rehabilitation of mandibular resorbed ridges using various approaches for implant-retained prosthesis utilizing both conventional and digital means.
