MANAGEMENT OF HYPER-MOBILE TISSUE WITH A MODIFIED COMBINE TECHNIQUE OF ZAFRULLA AND HOBKRIK

Abstract

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