ABSTRACT Displaceable tissue on edentulous ridges may present a considerable clinical challenge to dental practitioners when providing complete dentures. Displaceable, or ‘flabby ridges’, present a particular difficulty and give rise to complaints of pain or looseness relating to a complete denture that rests on them. If the flabby tissue is compressed during conventional impression making, it will later tend to recoil and dislodge the resulting overlying denture.   A careful consideration and application of the principles of complete denture construction for such condition can provide a palliative form of treatment. This article describes reports of three such clinical cases, and demonstrates the use of a suitable impression technique. How to cite this article Sonune SJ, Singh S, Dange S.

Conventional Impression

Flabby maxillary ridge is the most commonly encountered clinical condition during routine dental practice. The presence of these displaceable denture-bearing tissues often poses difficulty during fabrication of complete dentures resulting in compromised support, retention and stability. Many impression techniques and materials have been proposed in various literatures to help overcome this difficulty. These techniques vary in philosophies but are often quite time-consuming to perform, and rely on materials not commonly in use in contemporary dental practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe an impression technique for flabby ridges, using conventional impression material.

Superficial Area

Patients presenting with flabby or displaceable tissue continue to challenge even the most competent dental practitioners A fibrous or flabby ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue affecting the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. It can develop when hyperplastic soft tissue replaces the alveolar bone and is a common finding particularly in the upper anterior region of long-term denture wearers. Masticatory forces can displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, leading to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Under compression, the denture bearing area will exhibit localised mobility around the flabby tissue. Unless managed appropriately, such “flabby ridges” adversely affect the support, retention, and stability of complete dentures. Many impression techniques have been proposed to help overcome this difficulty Selective impression techniques have long been used in such cases, ensuring the displaceable tissue is recorded 'at rest'. Subsequently, the denture will maintain its peripheral seal during function This article presents a case report for prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with flabby ridge with a window tray impression technique, modified with dual trays.

ABSTRACT Aim To achieve retention in severely resorbed mandibular ridges during impression making and to maintain the retention and stability of these dentures during function. Background No good method with adequate clinical photographs that will empower the dentist with the necessary skill has been reported in the literature. Technique The technique involves making a preliminary impression in alginate to record the denture bearing area clearly, doing a border moulding procedure with excess width to fill the wide sulcus present; except in the area of anterior lingual flange from second premolar to second premolar area. The anterior lingual border of the impression is then extended sublingually without interfering with the tongue function or blocking the opening of the ducts of the sublingual gland; to maintain contact with the surrounding sublingual tissue in both protruded and retruded positions of the tongue, thereby creating good peripheral seal in the most vulnerable area in the lower denture, where the seal is easily broken during tongue movements. Conclusion This impression technique, combined with arrangement of teeth on the center of the ridge in the posterior part, use of flattened cusp posterior teeth and contoured polish surface of denture base (Fisch concept) provide sufficient retention and stability to the dentures made on these severely resorbed ridges. Clinical significance Patients with severely resorbed ridges cannot be rehabilitated with implants also and so normally suffer with loose lower denture fabricated with normal border moulding procedures. These patients can be rehabilitated to a great extent properly. How to cite this article Gafoor MAA, Kumar VVH, Sheejith M, Swapna C.

This present study describes an impression technique to rehabilitate patients with flabby ridge in pre-maxilla through complete dentures. The proposed technique consists on the association of nondisplacive impression of the flabby area in the primary and functional impression. Therefore, a primary impression was performed with irreversible hydrocolloid with a dual impression. The impression material was removed at the region corresponding to the flabby area, characterizing a window, where a re-impression was conducted with the same material in a more fluid consistency. The functional impression was executed with a custom tray with perforations at the flabby area fabricated over a primary anatomic cast previously relieved. As a result, an anatomic impression with reduced compression over the flabby ridge was obtained. Moreover, an accentuated decrease of the mucosa compression was obtained through the material overflow from the custom tray perforations at the functional impression. After the acrylization of the prosthetic piece, a delimited box corresponding to the flabby mucosa in the prosthesis base was verified. Thus, it is concluded that the association of techniques proposed in this study reduced the compression over the flabby ridge area resulting in a complete denture copying anatomically the flabby area at rest. Thereby, in this case through a precise negative reproduction, a more favorable retention of the maxillary complete denture was obtained in patients with flabby ridge at the pre-maxillary area.
