Extremely old, complete edentulous patients are very difficult to treat both because of their anatomical and psychological condition. Treatment challenges are increasing when this situation is associated with low socio-economic status, poor general health and unrealistic expectations. This article presents a prosthetic rehabilitation of a very old patient, presenting a serious bone atrophy asso...

I would ideally love to maintain a consistent exercise routine. However, there are stretches of time during which I get very little sleep, due either to a hectic schedule or a lot of stress. During these times (sometimes one or two weeks), I find it almost impossible to go work out. I'm simply too fatigued (I don't drink caffeine because it disrupts my sleep ? even one cup in the morning!). The...

Flabby ridges commonly occur in edentulous patients. Inadequate retention and stability of a complete denture are the often encountered problems in these patients. A liquid supported denture due to its flexible tissue surface allows better distribution of stress and hence provides an alternate treatment modality in such cases. This case report presents the use of a liquid supported denture in a...

Flabby ridges displaceable tissues are a common finding in long term denture wearers. Careful management is mandatory, failing which flabby adversely affect the retention, stability and support of complete dentures. Management can be driven either surgically or prosthodontically. A list techniques has been noted literature for prosthetically managing such as Zafarullah Khan Technique, modified ...

Complete denture fabrication in clinically compromised situations such as flabby ridges is a challenging task for the clinician. Accurate impressioning of these tissues plays a major role in ensuring a well-fitting prosthesis. In this paper, the authors have proposed a newer technique of impression making of the flabby tissues using a combination of readily available newer and older materials t...

We construct examples of flabby strict deformation quantizations not preserving K-groups. This answers a question of Rieffel negatively.
