The clinical difficulties encountered while treating edentulous patients with atrophic mandibular ridges are legion. Capturing tissue details while making an impression of a resorbed mandibular ridge poses a great clinical challenge. Extending the denture bases adequately to cover all of the available supporting tissues is one of the prime requisite. Surgical approach is necessary only when the patient is incapable of wearing a conventional denture. This article describes a technique of making an impression of an atrophic mandibular ridge by the use of monophase and light-bodied impression material where surgical options such as implants, vestibuloplasty or ridge augmentation may not be feasible. This procedure results in improved stability and retention of the denture base.
在治疗牙槽嵴萎缩的无牙颌患者时，临床中会遇到许多困难。在制取牙槽嵴吸收印模时，获取组织细节是一项巨大的临床挑战。充分扩展义齿基托以覆盖所有可用的支持组织是首要要求之一。只有当患者无法佩戴传统义齿时才需要采用手术方法。本文描述了一种使用单相和轻质印模材料制取牙槽嵴萎缩印模的技术，在这种情况下，手术选择如种植体、前庭成形术或牙槽嵴增高术可能不可行。该方法可提高义齿基托的稳定性和固位力。
