When conventional complete denture proves to be a failure due to lack of retention, stability, and support in diabetic patients with flabby ridges, certain modifications are made to suit patient needs. This case report presents fabrication of liquid-supported denture for completely edentulous diabetic patient with flabby anterior maxillary ridge. Such option is a good alternative to surgical procedures in patients with either health or financial problems. Liquid-supported denture provides better distribution of stress and thus maintains oral tissues in good health.
