Popis: Displaceable tissue on edentulous ridges may present a considerable clinical challenge to dental practitioners when providing complete dentures. Displaceable, or ‘flabby ridges’, present a particular difficulty and give rise to complaints of pain or looseness relating to a complete denture that rests on them. If the flabby tissue is compressed during conventional impression making, it will later tend to recoil and dislodge the resulting overlying denture. A careful consideration and application of the principles of complete denture construction for such condition can provide a palliative form of treatment. This article describes reports of three such clinical cases, and demonstrates the use of a suitable impression technique. How to cite this article Sonune SJ, Singh S, Dange S.
