Abstract:- Aims and objectives: Making of definitive/secondary impression of displaceable flabby tissues with minimum or no displacement of tissue by using window impression technique. Background: Displaceable, flabby or hyperplastic tissues or commonly seen in the anterior region of edentulous maxilla opposing mandibular anterior natural teeth or in the mandibular alveolar ridge when extensive bone resorption has occurred. Prevalence of flabby ridges can vary, occurring in up to 24% of edentulous maxilla and in 5% of edentulous mandible. Displacement of flabby tissues during impression making is always a concern. Soft tissues that are displaced during impression making tend to return to their original form, and complete dentures fabricated from such impression will not accurately fit on the recovered tissues resulting in loss of retention, stability and occlusal disharmony the dentures. Materials and Methods: This technique uses a custom tray with a window over mobile tissues and a mucostatic impression material to minimize distortion of tissues while making impression. First an accurate record of the denture supporting and limiting structure is made except for the mobile tissues which are recorded in second step using light body polyvinyl siloxane impression material in the window area of special tray. Conclusion: The use of this technique helps in maintaining the contour and recording the detail of the tissues without displacing the flabby tissues. Hence it improves the prognosis for complete denture without surgical removal of hyperplastic tissues. Key words:- Window impression technique, flabby ridge, polyvinyl siloxane, hypermobile tissues, Mucostatic, light body. |
