A method of impressing flabby ridge.

Flabby ridge remained a challenge in dental clinical practice to obtain an accurate impression for edentulous patients. During the traditional impression making process, the excessive and displaceable soft tissue are usually compressed. In this article, we presented an impression method by using a modified special stock tray, impression compound and polyvinyl siloxane impression materials.•the suitable stock tray was modified with holes about 5 mm diameter in the corresponding area to the crest of the flabby ridge.•the primary impression was made by position the modified tray with the softened compound impression on the edentulous ridge, avoiding the area of the flabby ridge.•the final accurate impression was obtained by using the light body polyvinyl siloxane impression material.
