A new approach to manage flabby ridge –a case report

Prosthodontic management of flabby ridges in completely edentulous patients poses a challenge to the clinician since the mobile tissue can cause transfer of undue forces to the ridge causing loss of retention, stability and support of the dentures and trauma to the underlying tissue. This case report describes the comprehensive management of flabby ridges by using a special window impression technique and fabricating a liquid supported denture in order to ensure recording of the tissue in undisplaced state and prevent trauma to the underlying tissues respectively.
