“…Flabby ridges can be managed by prosthodontic management alone or in combination with surgical treatment depending on the degree of displaceability 2–20 . Surgical excision is favorable if there is sufficient bone height, but most of the time it decreases the sulcus depth requiring vestibuloplasty.…”

“…After the 1930s clinicians supported this latter concept of recording tissues at rest. The various static methods used over the years include employing spacers or perforations in impression trays, scraping of impression trays, window technique, and using detachable trays 8–20 . All these methods can be effectively employed in cases of localized areas of hypermobile ridge tissue.…”

Hypermobile ridges or flabby edentulous ridges are a common occurrence in edentulous patients. The literature reveals that the mucostatic impression technique is one of the treatment options in this scenario. Conventional mucostatic methods like employing a window tray technique, multiple relief holes, or double spacers can be employed when the flabby tissue is localized. But in cases of generalized flabbiness of the residual ridge, even the manual placement and manipulation of a custom tray may distort the tissues, violating the principle of mucostatics. This presentation is a clinical report of a patient with a generalized flabby maxillary edentulous ridge opposing a partially edentulous mandibular arch. A split two-part special tray using the principle of magnetic attraction for self retention was fabricated. This self retention ruled out finger pressure during impression making, helping to achieve mucostatics.

“…The various static methods over the years have included the use of spacers or perforations in the impression trays, use of detachable impression trays, scraping of impression trays or multiple perforations in the special trays. [4][5][6][7] Same principles are applicable if impressions are made in other areas of the body like ear, face, fingers, etc. where the principal aim is to record the displaceable tissue at rest.…”

Geriatric patients who become completely edentulous at early age present very often with flabby residual alveolar ridge due to use of multiple complete dentures. Non surgical management of such tissue condition requires a different approach while making definitive impressions. We present a case of a 72 year old patient who presented with a wide area of the flabby maxillary anterior ridge. A paint -on impression technique using a window was used to record the flabby tissue at rest. The principles governing such objectives are discussed mainly in relation to the impression material used and the technique employed.
