LIQUID SUPPORTED DENTURE- A CASE REPORT ON MANAGEMENT OF FLABBY TISSUES

The ideal properties of a denture are adequate rigidity of polished surface to bear masticatory forces and flexibility and softness for better stress distribution. Conventional complete denture lacks retention and stability in cases with flabby tissue. A liquid supported denture can be a solution for this problem. This article describes the design of a denture in which the characteristics of plasticity and elastic recovery can be combined using a liquid supported denture in a patient with completely edentulous maxillary arch with flabby tissue in anterior region. It allows uniform stress distribution due to its flexible tissue surface and improves the patients acceptance.
