Prosthodontic Management of Fibrous Ridges-A Twin Case Report

Abstract

Fibrous’ or ‘flabby’ alveolar ridges pose significant problems for the provision of stable and retentive dental prosthesis for affected patients. In particular, problems arise during the act of impression making, when forces cause the mobile denture bearing tissues to become distorted. Many approaches have been reported, to manage hyperplastic and movable tissues. This twin case report depicts application of various approaches to manage the flabby ridges in treatment of complete denture.
