| Abstract | |
Flabby ridges pose significant problems in achieving retention and stability of a complete denture due to movable underlying tissue. Liquid-supported denture technique allows continued adaptation of denture to the mucosa both at resting and functional state. It allows better stress distribution due to its flexible nature and provides an alternative treatment approach in flabby ridges. This paper describes the technique for the fabrication of maxillary liquid-supported complete denture opposing completely edentulous mandibular arch. |
