RESUMEN
Edentulism is characterized by the loss of teeth, which can significantly impact oral health and the quality of life of older patients. Among the challenges faced by individuals with edentulism is the occurrence of flabby ridges, a common consequence of prolonged tooth loss. Flabby ridges, characterized by soft, compressible tissue in the edentulous ridge area, present unique management challenges for dental professionals. Fibrous or flabby alveolar ridges present challenges in the fabrication of predictable prostheses. Impression making, a critical step in prosthodontic treatment, becomes particularly problematic as forces exerted during the process can distort the mobile denture-bearing tissues, which will cause the denture to become unstable and loose. This case report aims at an impression technique that can enhance the treatment outcomes for edentulous patients with fibrous alveolar ridges as this decreases the pressure over flabby tissue.
