Özet

This clinical report describes a digital workflow integrating the neutral zone technique for fabricating removable complete dentures in a patient following mandibular resection and radiotherapy. A functional neutral zone impression was scanned and used to guide tooth arrangement and the design of the removable complete dentures. The definitive removable complete denture demonstrated satisfactory retention and stability, with no complications observed at the 3-month follow-up.
