The presence of displaceable denture-bearing tissues  presents a difficulty when making complete dentures. Unless managed adequetely, such ‘flabby ridges’ adversely affect the support, stability and retention of complete dentures. Many impression techniques have been suggested to help overcome these difficulties. While  approach varies, they are similar in their complexity and are often quite time-consuming to perform, and depend on materials not commonly in use in general dental practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe an impression technique for flabby ridges that makes use of polyvinylsiloxane impression dental materials routinely available in  dental practice
Keywords: Flabby tissue, impressions, polyvinylsiloxane impression material.
