Although implant supported prosthesis have grown as a new treatment trend for edentulous patients but choosing the best form of therapy should reflect dentist’s knowledge for effectiveness of treatment and at the same time patient understanding of treatment risks and also cost effectiveness.

In this case report a clinical technique has been explained for physiologic registration of denture tooth position, denture base contours and body forms for resorbed mandibular ridges.
