Flabby ridge is a common clinical finding affecting the alveolar ridges of the mandibular or maxillary arches. The anterior region of the maxilla is the most affected area in edentulous patients. Dentures on flabby ridges have compromised stability, support, and retention unless adequate measures for its management are employed. The purpose of this case series is to present techniques for the impression of anterior maxillary flabby tissues for improved and controlled application of impression materials that are routinely available in dental practice.
