Abstract

Flabby ridge, also known as a mobile or displaceable ridge, is a common clinical challenge encountered in dental practice. The flabby ridge lacks firmness and stability, causing dentures to become loose and unstable. This can lead to discomfort, difficulty in speaking and eating, and a decreased quality of life for denture wearers. The flabby ridge often lacks the necessary contour and resilience to create an effective seal and maintain suction between the denture base and the underlying tissues. This compromises the retention of dentures, making them prone to dislodgement during normal oral functions. In this report, a modified window technique is presented for the impression of the anterior maxillary flabby ridge. The window ensures that no or little pressure is exerted on the flabby tissue. Therefore, this technique can be easily carried out by general dental practitioners, enabling them to manage flabby ridge complete denture cases within a primary dental care setting.
