Abstract
A fibrous which is also called as hyperplastic ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue affecting the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. It develops when alveolar bone gets replaced by hyperplastic soft tissue and is a common finding particularly in the upper anterior region seen in long term denture wearers. Masticatory forces often displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, which leads to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Forces exerted during the act of impression making results in distortion of the mobile tissue. Unless it is managed appropriately by special impression techniques, such ‘flabby ridges’ adversely affect the support, retention and stability of complete dentures. This paper presents prosthodontic management of a patient with flabby ridges with special impression technique.
