Patients presenting with flabby or displaceable tissue continue to challenge even the most competent dental practitioners A fibrous or flabby ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue affecting the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. It can develop when hyperplastic soft tissue replaces the alveolar bone and is a common finding particularly in the upper anterior region of long-term denture wearers. Masticatory forces can displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, leading to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Under compression, the denture bearing area will exhibit localised mobility around the flabby tissue. Unless managed appropriately, such “flabby ridges” adversely affect the support, retention, and stability of complete dentures. Many impression techniques have been proposed to help overcome this difficulty Selective impression techniques have long been used in such cases, ensuring the displaceable tissue is recorded 'at rest'. Subsequently, the denture will maintain its peripheral seal during function This article presents a case report for prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with flabby ridge with a window tray impression technique, modified with dual trays.

Accidental tooth avulsion is a grievous injury and common among the children. Management of avulsed tooth within alveolar socket by reimplantation becomes a challenge for the clinician due to extraoral time and media of transportation. Although the long-term prognosis of reimplantation is poor, the time during which the tooth remain within the arch will guide the development of alveolar bone completely. Moreover, reimplantation will maintain anatomical, functional and esthetic rehabilitation of the patient. In this case report, we present a case of accidental avulsion where teeth were gently rinsed of any debris and placed in normal saline during the examination and preparation of the reimplantation sockets. The teeth were then reimplanted, functionally splinted followed by endodontical treatment. After 12 months follow-up the periodontal space was healed perfectly without any resorption or ankylosis.J Enam Med Col 2017; 7(3): 165-169

Abstract Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare, aggressive malignant odontogenic tumor. AFS is seen most frequently in second and third decades of life. We are reporting a case of a low grade AFS in a 21-year-old male complaining of a painless swelling in the right side of the maxilla. The patient was treated with surgical excision followed by radiotherapy, which is considered the most effective approach for most of soft tissue sarcomas. AFS has a high-reported recurrence rate (up to 37%); therefore, long-term surveillance for recurrence is crucial.

The study compares subjective experiences of patients, wearing complete dentures. Two different methods of determining a centric relation were performed: the traditional method using wax occlusal rims and the Gerber method, based on gothic arch tracings. The success rate of establishing a centric relation in both methods was evaluated (rentgenodiagnostics). The influence of the method used to obtain the centric relation on patients’ stomatognathic system (condyle centralization, pain) was also evaluated. Better results were achieved in gothic arch tracing method. Before every prosthetic treatment of edentulous patients, a functional analysis of the TMJ is necessary. The lack of centric relation, in a long term adaptation patients, does not lead to TMD symptoms. This trial is registered with NCT03343015.

Residual ridge resorption is the reduction in size of the bony ridge under the mucoperiosteum. Obtaining retention and stability in a severely resorbed ridges using a conventional technique is a tedious task. The resorption occurs at a faster rate in mandibular arch as compared to the maxillary arch. In order to have a favorable prognosis for the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be based on the present state of the basal tissue support for mandible. In this article neutral zone concept was incorporated in to impression making in an effort to achieve successful mandibular complete denture. The anterior region of maxilla is the most affected area in edentulous patients. Complete denture wearers with flabby ridges may face a number of difficulties, of which major complaints would be pain, compromised stability, support, and retention and an ill-fitting denture. Special impressions often involve window technique for static impression of flabby area, which present multiple challenges. This article presents a case report of modified widow impression technique for maxillary anterior flabby tissues along with a hollow maxillary complete denture in a patient with resorbed maxillary and mandibular ridges with increased interridge distance to reduce the weight of the prosthesis and thereby enhances the retention.

For decades, conventional complete dentures (CD) have been a promising treatment for edentulous patients. The introduction of digital technology in CD fabrication streamlines and simplifies the treatment process and offers new and specific applications for the completely edentulous patients. Computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufactured (CAD/CAM) CD protocols can improve efficiency and offer specific applications in specific situations to improve patient care, satisfaction, and convenience. The aim of this review is to assess and evaluate the clinical outcomes and complication of CAD/CAM fabricated CD systems and to provide information about currently available systems for dental practitioners.

The aim of the present study was to evidence the improved behavior of our modified PMMA-TiO2 nanocomposite material used to obtain 3D printed complete dentures. A protocol for long-term rapid prototyping complete denture manufacturing using our nanocomposite material, completely characterized and the evaluation of the clinical performance and complications after eighteen months of continuous wearing was also described. Thirty-five fully edentulous patients were enrolled in this prospective clinical study and forty-five complete dentures (31 maxillary and 14 mandibular) have been obtained using an additive manufacturing technology. Due to the good performances of the nanocomposite material, no major functional complications for the obtained medical devices occurred and the clinical outcomes for the 3D printed dentures were favorable evaluated at eighteen months follow up.

ABSTRACT 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.
