Aim: This article described a physiological impression technique to design denture surfaces by the action of the surrounding musculature during functional movements based on "neutral zone concept" in patients with the severely atrophied mandibular ridge. Methodology: Dual surface impression technique was employed for the fitting and polished surface using silicone impression material. Results: This technique provided a stable base with correct borders to perform all functional movements of the lips, cheeks, and tongue. Conclusions: The patient improved the ability to maintain the adaptive muscle behaviors necessary to control the denture movement in function and rest.
