Abstract

Success of the complete denture prosthesis is often measured by the amount of stability and retention it offers in function.A successful fabrication of complete denture is frequently hampered by the existence of movable denture-bearing tissues and continues to be challenging to a Prosthodontist. The stability, support, and retention of dentures on flabby ridges are affected unless effective management strategies are used. The management of flabby ridges has been approached from several angles.A balanced distribution of occlusal load, unique impression procedures, and surgical removal and augmentation, use of implants are some of the techniques used while treating flabby ridges.Among the various impression techniques used, mucostatic impression technique has been advocated for impression of flabby ridges to record the flabby tissues in a static state.The present case report represents a conventional complete denture made using a modified window technique for flabby tissues using polyvinylsiloxane impression material.
