## TL;DR

A new digital workflow improves denture stability for patients with flabby ridges by combining impression techniques and 3D-printed prototypes.

## Contribution

Introduces a digital workflow integrating mucocompressive and functional impression techniques for managing flabby ridges.

## Key findings

- The method effectively manages flabby ridges and mobile soft tissues.
- Denture stability and patient satisfaction are significantly improved.
- Treatment efficiency is enhanced through the use of closed-mouth 3D-printed prototypes.

## Abstract

An integrated impression technique combining mucocompressive and functional approaches, supported by a digital workflow and closed‐mouth 3D‐printed prototypes, can effectively manage flabby ridges and mobile soft tissues. This method enhances denture stability, improves treatment efficiency, and increases patient satisfaction in complete denture fabrication.
