“…From the modification of this impression technique, the selective pressure impression can be obtained, which in flabby area there is no mucofunctional pressure; but in the other tissue, mucofunctional pressure can be obtained. 7,12 With this modification, the problem can be also solved; that is usually found in flabby impression technique such as difficulty in applying impression material in open tray technique because of the gravitational forces, and also concern of controlled application and technique sensitivity in double tray impression for flabby ridge. 13 The advantages of this modified functional closed mouth impression technique are 1) obtaining an extension of the denture base according to the patient's function and minimalized the likelihood of under or overextension of the denture base, 2) does not require double trays for flabby area impression, 3) single stage impression, and 4) easier fabrication and execution.…”

“…The main problem encountered in flabby ridge apart from the above difficulties is that it is not indicated for closed mouth impression technique because it can cause functional pressure on the flabby ridge area. [5][6][7] Flat ridges, also called atrophic ridge, can result in them being unable to provide good resistance to vertical or horizontal movement. The main problem that often arises in flat ridges is the unstable and non-retentive dentures that can cause pain and discomfort.…”

In fabricating complete denture, flabby ridge and flat ridge require special impression technique. Pressure causes by impression in flabby ridge may compress the tissue. Ideally, modified open mouth impression technique is used to avoid compression in flabby area which cause denture base displacement. Flat ridge offers little possibility of retention, stability, and the muscle attachments are located near the crest of the residual ridge so there is more dislocating effect to horizontal and vertical movement. Closed mouth functional impression technique may produce a more retentive denture base for flat ridge because it record peripheral seal and denture bearing area with patient’s functional. The main problem arises when flat ridge is also accompanied by flabby ridge. Closed mouth functional impression technique in this case cause pressure on the flabby ridge. This case report discusses about the management of the case with modification to functional closed mouth impression technique using wax as a spacer which is covered with metal mesh on the flabby ridge. The function of closed mouth functional impression technique is to obtain optimal muscle trimming and impression with patient’s functional pressure and movement, to obtain the extension of the denture base to movable unmovable tissue during function. Modification with wax spacer in flabby area so that non-spacer area act as stopper during functional impression, and flabby ridge is free from pressure. Additional modification with metal mesh above the wax serves as escape holes, as well as scaffold for retention of impression material. Modification in this impression technique produce denture base which does not compress flabby ridge, and also obtain retentive, and stable base for flat ridge case.

“…8 The choice of impression material has also varied with the use of elastomeric impression materials. 9,10 The use of two impression materials was popularized by Liddlelow 11 while the window technique was later introduced by Watson. 12 We argue that these two impression techniques satisfy most of the principles of impression making in flabby ridges while most other techniques fall short in fulfilling all criteria.…”

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.
