Or using two stage (Sectional)impression techniqueAcrylic special tray is constructed having a window opposite the area of abby tissues. Border moulding is carried out in the usual manner and zinc oxide and eugenol impression is made and excess passing through the widow is trimmed out. The abby area is recorded using plaster impression material applied with a brush several times with the secondary impression in place. After the impression plastersets, an overall impression using a suitable stock tray loaded with impression plaster is used to remove both sections together.The jaw relation is recorded using check bite technique (with the least possible displacement of the supporting structures)3- Cross-linked cuspless acrylic teeth are used to decrease thelateral component of force.4- Teeth are placed in relation to the neutral zone and thebucco-lingual width should be reduced.5- After denture insertion, the patient is instructed for periodiccheck-up of the denture.Prosthetic management Combination syndrome
