Abstract

Flabby ridge is the soft mobile tissue which affects both maxillary and mandibular ridges but maxillary anterior of long term denture wearers the most. At the time of impression making, forces exerted can cause distortion of the mobile tissue. If not properly managed, denture will be displaced by the masticatory forces which will ultimately lead to loss of retention, support and stability of denture. There are many approaches to deal with displaceable denture bearing tissue “flabby ridges” which includes- Surgical management, special impression techniques, balanced distribution of occlusal loads and implant therapy. This case report presents the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with flabby ridge using a different impression technique.
