![]() An awareness of the pattern of resorption that takes place in various parts of the edentulous jaws, enables clinicians to anticipate and avert future problems. Such a classification serves to simplify description of the residual ridge and thereby assist communication between clinicians aid selection of the appropriate surgical prosthodontic technique offer an objective baseline from which to evaluate and compare different treatment methods and help in deciding on interceptive techniques to preserve the alveolar process. In general, the changes of shape of the alveolar process follows a predictable pattern. It was noted that whilst the shape of the basalar process of the mandible and maxilla remains relatively stable, changes in shape of the alveolar process is highly significant in both the vertical and horizontal axes. Each class is differentiated by specific diagnostic criteria. N2 - A classification of the edentulous jaws has been developed based on a randomised cross-sectional study from a sample of 300 dried skulls. Four categories are defined, ranging from Class I to Class IV, with Class I representing an uncomplicated clinical situation and a Class IV patient representing the most complex and higher-risk situation.
