Management of flabby ridges using liquid supported denture: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flabby ridges commonly occur in edentulous patients. Inadequate retention and stability of a complete denture are the often encountered problems in these patients. A liquid supported denture due to its flexible tissue surface allows better distribution of stress and hence provides an alternate treatment modality in such cases. This case report presents the use of a liquid supported denture in a patient with completely edentulous maxillary arch with flabby tissue in anterior region opposing a partially edentulous mandibular arch.

Complete denture fabrication in clinically compromised situations such as flabby ridges is a challenging task for the clinician. Accurate impressioning of these tissues plays a major role in ensuring a well-fitting prosthesis. In this paper, the authors have proposed a newer technique of impression making of the flabby tissues using a combination of readily available newer and older materials t...

Conventional complete denture lacks retention and stability in patients with fibrous hyperplasic tissue. The ideal properties of a denture are adequate rigidity of polished surface to bear masticatory forces and at the same time, flexibility and softness for better stress distribution. In conventional denture, there is uneven distribution of load due to rigidity of tissue surface, especially in...

متن کاملDisplaceable Tissue: a Clinical Challenge for a Prosthodontist
A fibrous or flabby ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue affecting the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. Restoration of such ridges often requires special consideration in impression making. Masticatory forces can displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, leading to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Forces exerted during the act of impression making...
متن کاملMishmash Impression Technique for Managing Maxillary Anterior Fibrous Ridge
Introduction: Flabby or fibrous ridge is one of the consequences of long term wearing of complete dentures. It can develop where hyperplasic soft tissue replaces the alveolar bone and is a common finding, particularly in the upper anterior region of long term denture wearers. Forces exerted during impression making can result in distortion of the mobile tissue unless managed appropriately; such...
