Introduction
•Severely resorbed edentulous mandibles pose a great challenge to manage both prosthetically and surgically.
•Wearing a conventional denture can be difficult to the patient due to insufficient retention, stability, and support, thereby causing inadequacies in comfort, speech, and mastication.
•Close proximity of the alveolar crest and the mental nerve can also subject denture wearers to pain, paresthesia, or numbness.
•The aim of this literature review is to examine pre-prosthetic surgical and non-surgical modalities for treatment of severely resorbed edentulous mandibular ridges.
