    1. Anatomy for Complete and Partial Dentures

    2. Lips Vermilion Border Denture provides lip support Affects vermilion border width

    3. Lips Philtrum Depression below nose

    4. Lips Nasolabial Angle Angle between columella of nose & philtrum of lip Normally, approximately 90° as viewed in profile

    5. Lips Tissue of the Upper Lip Loose tissue of the upper lip can be gathered between your thumb and index finger

    6. Cheeks Masseter Muscle Closing muscle bulges into distal corner of buccal vestibule Not active during impression making

    7. Residual Ridges If ridges are severely resorbed, inform patient “U”-shape “V”-shape

    8. Vestibules If vestibules are shallow, inform the patient

    9. Maxilla Maxillary Tuberosities Oversized Resorbed Undercut

    10. Maxilla Maxillary Tuberosities Oversized Resorbed Undercut

    11. Maxilla Incisive Papilla Landmark for setting of teeth

    12. Maxilla “Hamular” Notch Posterior border denture Between the bony tuberosity and hamulus “Soft displaceable tissue”, for comfort and retention

    13. Maxilla “Hamular” Notch Posterior border denture Sometimes posterior to where the depression in the soft tissue appears Use the head of your mirror to palpate the notch & mark with an indelible marker

    14. Maxilla Soft Palate Vibrating Line Critical posterior border dentures Junction of movable and immovable portions of the soft palate

    15. Maxilla Glandular Tissue Soft displaceable

    16. Maxilla Soft Palate Fovea Palatine Bilateral indentations near midline of the soft palate Close to the vibrating line

    17. Maxilla Hard Palate Median Palatine Raphe (midline palatine suture) A bony midline structure May require relief when covered by a denture

    18. Maxilla Torus Palatinus May require removal

    19. Mandible Pear Shaped Pad Soft pad containing glandular tissue Inverted pear shape, posterior border Created from scarring after extractions

    20. Mandible Buccal Shelf Primary denture bearing area of mandibular denture Between height of bridge & external oblique ridge Resorbs more slowly

    21. Mandible Anterior Border of the Ramus Do not extend dentures to ramus Discomfort will result

    22. Mandible External Oblique Ridge Do not extend dentures to this ridge

    23. Mandible Mylohyoid Ridge Origin of mylohyoid muscle which influences length of lingual flange Can be prominent, and/or sharp, requiring relief

    24. Mandible Mylohyoid Ridge

    25. Mandible Lingual Tori Raised bony structures May require relief when covered by a denture Thin mucosa can ulcerate easily

    26. Mandible Genial Tubercles Attachment for the genioglossus muscle Tubercles may be higher than the ridge with severe resorption

    27. Frena (singular = frenum) Must be relieved to allow movement, without impingement If prominent, adequate relief can weaken a denture If too much relief, retention is lost Check prominence intraorally

    28. Pterygo-Mandibular Raphe Connects from the hamulus to the mylohyoid ridge When prominent, can cause pain, or loosening Requires relief “groove ” if prominent

    29. Retrozygomal Fossae (Space) Palpate zygomatic process in buccal vestibule just buccal to first maxillary molar Vestibular space posterior to zygoma

    30. Retrozygomal Fossae (Space) Commonly incompletely captured in preliminary impressions Use syringe technique

    31. Coronoid Process Place mirror head lateral to tuberosity Move mandible to opposite side Note binding or pain This gives some indication of the width of the space for flange
