A CONSERVATIVE PROSTHODONTIC APPROACH FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF FLABBY RIDGE

Dr. Diptesh S. Rami, Dr. Rajesh Sethuraman, Dr. Kishan Detroja, Dr. Vishrut Shah

Abstract


Flabby ridge is a common clinical finding affecting the alveolar ridges of the mandibular or maxillary arches. Patients with flabby tissue require impression procedures which will record the entire denture bearing area in a functional form and the flabby tissue in undisplaced form. The presence of displaceable denture-bearing tissues often presents a difficulty when making complete dentures unless managed appropriately. This case report describes simple and practical approach of completely edentulous patients with localized hyperplastic ridge.
