Modification closed mouth functional impression technique for flabby and flat ridge: a case report
Indonesian Journal of Prosthodontics
In fabricating complete denture, flabby ridge and flat ridge require special impression technique. Pressure causes by impression in flabby ridge may compress the tissue. Ideally, modified open mouth impression technique is used to avoid compression in flabby area which cause denture base displacement. Flat ridge offers little possibility of retention, stability, and the muscle attachments are located near the crest of the residual ridge so there is more dislocating effect to horizontal and vertical movement. Closed mouth functional impression technique may produce a more retentive denture base for flat ridge because it record peripheral seal and denture bearing area with patient’s functional. The main problem arises when flat ridge is also accompanied by flabby ridge. Closed mouth functional impression technique in this case cause pressure on the flabby ridge. This case report discusses about the management of the case with modification to functional closed mouth impression techniqu...

Flabby ridge is an excessive movable fibrous tissue, usually affecting the maxillary and mandibular edentulous ridges. It is a typical finding frequently observed in the maxillary anterior region. It usually occurs when natural teeth oppose an edentulous ridge or in long-term denture wearers. The management of flabby ridges includes surgical intervention, implant-retained prostheses, and conventional dentures fabricated using the modified impression technique. This case report depicts prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients with flabby ridges with two different impression modalities.
Making of a final impression of flabby tissue with minimal or no displacement of tissue and better stability of the denture. A fibrous or flabby ridge is a mobile or extremely resilient alveolar ridge that becomes displaceable due to fibrous tissue deposition. Inadequate support, stability, and retention of a complete denture are the problems encountered in these patients. This article represents a review of different impression techniques for the management of flabby ridge in complete dentures. These impression techniques helped in recording flabby tissue with minimal displacement and hence enhanced the stability, support, and retention of the denture.
A Simplified Impression Technique for a Flabby Maxilla - A Clinical Report
Journal of Nepalese Prosthodontic Society
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.
Case Reports in Dentistry, 2014
The history of complete denture impression procedures has been influenced largely by the development of impression materials from which new techniques and ideas arose. The purpose of this study was to compare the retention of complete dentures made by using different impression techniques like conventional, admixed, all green, and functional techniques. The results showed that there was significant difference in retention between the six techniques where functional technique showed the highest mean value of retention followed by elastomeric, all green, and admixed, while cocktail and green stick compound showed the lowest mean value. However, on clinical examination, the retention produced by the six techniques was satisfactory.
Alternative impression technique for edentulous anterior maxillary flabby tissue
Research, Society and Development
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. A...
Prosthodontic management of Flabby ridges using effective Impression techniques
IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences, 2021
Denture fabrication on a flabbly ridge can be a Herculine task for clinicians as denture fabricated on such a ridge could lack stability and give disappointing results. Special care should be taken by the clinicians while treating such cases. Modifications of conventional impression techniques can be useful aid while treating such cases. These techniques unable the clinician to appropriately record the distorted tissues and fabricate a denture that is stable and retentive. In this article we reviewed various impression techniques that can be implicated for fabricating a denture on flabbly ridges.
A Novel Prosthodontic Treatment Approach Towards Resorbed Mandibular Ridges
IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences, 2017
The most common problems among long term denture wearers is the unstable complete mandibular denture .Complete dentures are primarily mechanical devices, but since they function in the oral cavity, they must be in harmony with normal neuromuscular function, oral functions such as speech, mastication, swallowing, smiling, and laughing which involves the synergistic actions of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and floor of the mouth.. In order to have a favourable prognosis for the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be proper. In Neutral Zone Technique, the forces exerted by muscles of tongue and the cheek will tend to stabilize the denture rather than unseat it
Mishmash Impression Technique for Managing Maxillary Anterior Fibrous Ridge
Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques, 2018
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 flabby ridges adversely affect support, retention and stability of complete dentures. Many impression techniques have been developed to help overcome this problem. While these vary in the method applied, they are similar in their complexity, are often quite time-consuming to perform and rely on materials not commonly used in contemporary general dental practice. The purpose of this article is to describe an impression technique for flabby ridges usingrubber base impression materials, routinely available in general dental practice.
