Flabby ridge, also known as a mobile or displaceable is common clinical challenge encountered in dental practice. The flabby ridge lacks firmness and stability, causing dentures to become loose unstable. This can lead discomfort, difficulty speaking eating, decreased quality of life for denture wearers. often the necessary contour resilience create an effective seal maintain suction between bas...

When in partially edentulous patient hyperplastic tissue replaces the alveolar bone, a flabby ridge develops which is often seen long-term denture wearers. Flabby provide poor retention for fabrication if not recoded properly. A careful consideration and application of Zafrulla Hobkrik technique complete construction helps practitioner to over cone such conditions easily. This article describes...

Background: Prosthesis choices on impression techniques for patients associated with flabby ridges may be varies from one another. .The intern’s feedback is evaluated to investigate influence for the choice of impression techniques for flabby ridges .This review article presents various techniques that can be used for making impression in flabby ridge areas especially for edentulous patients. A...

With the increase in life expectancy, there is increase in number of edentulous individuals requiring rehabilitation with complete dentures. Flabby ridge is a commonly encountered condition in clinical practice which affects the retention and stability of the mandibular denture. Two patients reported in K.M. Shah dental college with flabby mandibular ridges. Two different secondary impressions ...

Introduction: Flabby or fibrous ridge is one of the consequences of long term wearing of complete dentures. It can develop where hyperplasic soft tissue replaces the alveolar bone and is a common finding, particularly in the upper anterior region of long term denture wearers. Forces exerted during impression making can result in distortion of the mobile tissue unless managed appropriately; such...

A fibrous or flabby ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue affecting the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. Restoration of such ridges often requires special consideration in impression making. Masticatory forces can displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, leading to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Forces exerted during the act of impression making...

Conventional complete denture lacks retention and stability in patients with fibrous hyperplasic tissue. The ideal properties of a denture are adequate rigidity of polished surface to bear masticatory forces and at the same time, flexibility and softness for better stress distribution. In conventional denture, there is uneven distribution of load due to rigidity of tissue surface, especially in...
