The complete edentulism is most often witnessed among geriatric age group undergoing changes associated
with ageing. One of the commonest issues of concern among such patients as well as the Prosthodontists is
continuous loss of alveolar bone and its consequences. Making an impression of such resorbed ridges is often very
troublesome to the dentist as the tissues become unsupported and displaceable thereby, jeopardising the success
of the prosthesis. The key to such cases is to record the supporting tissue in its resting state while maintaining its
integrity. This clinical case report presents a case of severely resorbed ridge managed using the cocktail impression
technique to improve mandibular denture stability in an atrophic mandibular ridge.
