Human dentition is in a state of constant flux. This overview is a summary of the various genotype polymorphism and their probable mechanisms in residual ridge resorption. Since bone resorption is a common feature observed in alveolar ridge loss, it can be hypothesised that a similar genetic mechanism is applicable for residual ridge resorption too. Implant failures and periodontitis that manifest bone loss have often been linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms. Though innumerable researches have shown the interdependence or direct relationship of anatomical, systemic, nutritional and prosthetic factors to loss of residual ridge, genetic factors have been often neglected as a predisposing factor. Residual ridge resorption has been a chronic entity that has mauled prosthodontic rehabilitation by affecting support, stability and retention of complete dentures.
