 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19 Stress and the absorption of residual ridge Abstract residual ridge of the absorption is a major challenge in prosthodontics, stress is caused by the absorption of the main factors, this article from the stresses and residual ridge of the mechanism of absorption, molecular mechanisms, dentures and the relationship between residual ridge aspects are reviewed.  Keywords: stress; residual ridge of the absorption; denture  Mouth, teeth, edentulous alveolar gradually after the absorption and conversion to form a continuous ridge of bone known as the edentulous alveolar ridge also known as residual ridge (residual ridge). Absorption of residual ridge is a chronic, progressive, non-reversibility of bone resorption, which involves the occurrence of systemic factors, local anatomical factors, mechanical stress factors, including stress factor is an earlier and the most important problem, research Stress and residual ridge relationship between the clinical choice for the rational, scientific way the repair is particularly important.  A stress and the mechanism of absorption of residual ridge  When the tooth is present, alveolar ridge arranged in trabecular bone through the rational and the feelings of stress, tooth loss, the residual ridge the way to withstand the stress has changed. Generally recognized that such stress changes in the environment for the residual ridge remodeling effects are reflected in two aspects: first, after the tooth loss due to reduction or loss of masticatory function expressed as disuse atrophy, which is a low-conversion-type bone remodeling process; Second, after wearing denture teeth to pass too much stress on the alveolar ridge and the formation of traumatic bone resorption, which is a high-turnover type of bone remodeling process. Frost [1] proposed a mechanical stabilizer for the hypothesis may indicate pathophysiological mechanisms of this bone, and can better explain the residual ri
