Abstract

The displaceable denture bearing tissues or flabby ridges is a common finding in prolonged edentulous patients. Flabby ridges compromise the retention, support and stability of the denture. Modifications in impression techniques have been proposed to physiologically record these tissues. In this case report two different impression techniques namely, one part impression technique and dual tray technique to record flabby ridges is discussed. Record bases obtained from master cast of two different techniques where compared and dual tray technique showed less blanching of tissues than one part impression technique. Dual tray technique may be used to treat & prevent further deterioration of the existing condition.
