Abstract
Background:Tomeasure the changes in retention of mandibular denture with extension in sublingual region and evaluate the impression method best suited for patients with mandibular ridge resorption.
Materials & Methods:A total of 15 subjects were enrolled. The mean age of subjects was 60.52 years. The subjects were divided with impression of denture bases as group A using conventional technique and group B as mandibular denture bases fabricated using sublingual extension.
Results:A total of 15 subjects were enrolled. Range of means for group A was 11.0 grams to 75.50 grams and standard deviation of ±22.5204.
Conclusion:There was a statistically significant increase in retention, mean vestibular depth and width of denture bases after border molding with sublingual extension as compared to denture bases with conventional border molding.
Keywords: mandibular denture, ridge resorption, retention.
