Abstract:

Flabby tissue over the residual alveolar ridge is a common occurrence, especially in older healthy individuals who are wearing complete denture prosthesis since long time. Recording such tissue without displacement has been considered as a prosthetic challenge which is why many techniques have been mentioned in the literature. We present a simple technique using putty and light body consistency of addition silicone elastomeric impression material. The technique involves identifying the area, transferring the same on the tray, relieving the marked area followed by recording the area with no pressure. The technique is simple and inexpensive and is independent of ones skills and ability.
