Abstract
'Flabby tissue is defined as excessive, movable tissue'. Flabby tissue or hypermobile ridge tissue is commonly seen in the anterior part of the edentulous maxillary ridge or overlying an atrophic knife-edge mandibular ridge. Dentures on flabby ridges have compromised stability, support, and retention unless adequate measures for its management are employed. Methods applied for flabby ridge management, include surgical removal and augmentation, special impression techniques, balanced distribution of occlusal loads and implant therapy. This article reviews the various prosthodontic treatment modalities regarding the flabby tissue condition such as impression techniques and its modifications, implant supported prosthesis, and other prosthetic options.
