ANATOMIC FACTORS :
RRR anatomic factors
1
RRR ------------------Density of the bone
METABOLIC FACTORS :
FUNCTIONAL FACTORS :
Disuse atrophy ::
It is directly proportional to the extent of disuse .
After the loss of natural teeth, bone cannot be
stimulated by a denture base as the teeth did
internally. The lack of internal stimuli contributes to
the disuse atrophy .
PROSTHETIC FACTORS :
Excessive stress resulting from artificial dentures .
Abuse of tissues from lack of rest .
Incorrect Centric relation record .
Faulty improper impressions employing compression
forces .
Radiographs:
- Cephalometrics .
- Panoramic.
Porosimetry
Anatomic studies .
Management of RRR
Systemic evaluation
- Diet.
- Tissue Treatment Therapy.
- Pre-prosthetic surgery
Ridge extension
surgery/vestibuloplasty
Ridge Augmentation
Prosthetic management
- Impression technique .
