Abstract: Flabby or fibrous tissue refers to the hyperplastic tissue present over the alveolar ridge of an edentulous patient.The presence of fibrous tissue is not desirable as it is extremely resilient, causing problems in denture fabrication, especially during impression-making.The resulting dentures tend to get displaced due to tissue rebound.The resultant complete denture lacks stability, retention and poses speech difficulties.Thus, the denture can be easily displaced during normal oral function leading to patient discomfort.The present case report aims at utilizing a minimum pressure technique while making the impression of the flabby tissue and stabilizing the occlusion to minimize the effects of its hypermobility.
