FLABBY RIDGES IN COMPLETELY EDENTULOUS PATIENTS: BANE TO BOON.

Dr. Megha Bhargava Jain

Abstract


Prosthodontic innovations and developments have had a quantum leap in the past decade or so. But more or less they have been associated with the fixed prosthetics. Complete denture patients have not been much benefitted by the same. Denture abuse is a common site in the dental set up. Patients wearing worn off prosthesis for the past 12 – 14 years are regular visitors to the clinic. The total rehabilitation of such patients is not complete till the time oral tissues have reverted back to optimum health. One such technique for flabby tissues in the oral cavity is discussed in this article.


Keywords


flabby tissue, ultra light body elastomer, mucostatic impression.
