Management of Flabby Ridge using Modified Window Technique and Liquid Supported Denture: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Rehabilitation of patients with flabby ridges poses a great amount of difficulty for a prosthodontist. As the flabby tissues easily gets distorted while impression making, the dentures fabricated on such foundations are often compromised in its retention and stability. Case report: Liquid supported denture fabricated using modified window impression technique in this case uses mucostatic impression technique where flabby tissue is located and the denture base is covered with a preshaped, closed fitting flexible PVC sheet which help in continued adaptation of the denture to the mucosa in the resting and functional states. Conclusion: Liquid supported denture fabricated using modified window impression technique can stand a better option in case of flabby ridges while considering conventional prosthodontics. This concept can further improve the patient’s comfort and acceptance because of uniform distribution of masticatory forces.
