Where Physiology Meets Prosthetics: Unlocking the Power of the Neutral Zone

 In prosthetic rehabilitation, ridge resorption poses a critical challenge in retention, stability, and patient comfort due to loss of anatomical landmark support. When bone support is lost, achieving successful prostheses requires shifting focus from purely anatomical boundaries to dynamic neuromuscular forces. Harnessing neuromuscular control through the neutral zone technique offers a predictable, non-surgical pathway to restore retention, functional efficiency, and overall quality of life for the edentulous patient with an atrophic ridge.
