Conclusion: This impression technique, combined with arrangement of teeth on the center of the ridge in the posterior part, use of flattened cusp posterior teeth and contoured polish surface of denture base (Fisch concept) provide sufficient retention and stability to the dentures made on these severely resorbed ridges.
