Management of Flabby Ridge using Modified Window Technique and Liquid Supported Denture: A Case Report

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Rehabilitation of patients with flabby ridgesposes a great amount of difficulty for a prosthodontist. Asthe flabby tissues easily gets distorted while impressionmaking, the dentures fabricated on such foundations are oftencompromised in its retention and stability.Case report Liquid supported denture fabricated usingmodified window impression technique in this case usesmucostatic impression technique where flabby tissue is locatedand the denture base is covered with a preshaped, closed fittingflexible PVC sheet which help in continued adaptation of thedenture to the mucosa in the resting and functional states.Conclusion: Liquid supported denture fabricated usingmodified window impression technique can stand a betteroption in case of flabby ridges while considering conventionalprosthodontics. This concept can further improve the patient’scomfort and acceptance because of uniform distribution ofmasticatory forces.
