Area of Science:

Dentistry
Prosthodontics
Dental Materials

Background:

Flabby ridges, characterized by a lack of firmness and stability, present a significant challenge in complete denture fabrication.
These mobile or displaceable ridges compromise denture retention, leading to instability during mastication and speech.
Existing impression techniques often exert excessive pressure on flabby tissues, exacerbating the problem.

Observation:

The anterior maxillary flabby ridge is a common clinical presentation.
Conventional impression methods can lead to poor denture fit and patient dissatisfaction.
A modified window technique was developed to address the challenges posed by flabby ridges.

Findings:

The modified window technique allows for impressions of the anterior maxillary flabby ridge with minimal or no pressure exerted on the displaceable tissue.
This technique facilitates the creation of an effective seal and maintains suction for improved denture retention.
The procedure is straightforward and suitable for general dental practitioners.

Implications:

This technique offers a practical solution for managing flabby ridge complete denture cases in primary dental care settings.
Improved denture stability and retention can significantly enhance the quality of life for denture wearers.
Wider adoption by general dental practitioners can improve outcomes for patients with flabby ridges.
