Management of flabby has been a challenge to the prosthodontist and clinicians for ages. Often it is seen that patients who have been wearing

complete maxillary denture for years opposed only by mandibular anterior teeth resulted in the loss of all or part of the residual alveolar bone in the

maxillary anterior region. The remaining soft tissues are easily distorted by conventional impression procedures rendering a poor prognosis for the

complete denture prosthesis. Hence efforts have been made to record the flabby tissues mucostatically to improve denture retention, stability and

support using modifications of the conventional Zafrulla Khan technique for recording flabby tissues.
