• Philtrum – Depression below nose
• Philtrum – Depression below nose
LipsLips
• Nasolabial Angle– Angle between columella of nose &
philtrum of lip
– Normally, approximately 90° as viewed in profile
• Nasolabial Angle– Angle between columella of nose &
philtrum of lip
– Normally, approximately 90° as viewed in profile

• Tissue of the Upper Lip– Loose tissue of the upper lip
can be gathered between your thumb and index finger

buccal vestibule

• “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

– Vibrating Line• Critical posterior border dentures
• Junction of movable and immovable portions of the soft palate

• Soft Palate– Fovea Palatine
• Bilateral indentations near midline of the soft palate
• Close to the vibrating line

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

• Pear Shaped Pad– Soft pad containing glandular tissue
– Inverted pear shape, posterior border
– Created from scarring after extractions

MandibleMandible
• Buccal Shelf– Primary denture bearing area of mandibular
denture– Between height of bridge & external oblique ridge– Resorbs more slowly

• Anterior Border of the Ramus– Do not extend dentures to ramus
– Discomfort will result

• External Oblique Ridge– Do not extend dentures to this ridge
• External Oblique Ridge– Do not extend dentures to this ridge
MandibleMandible
• Mylohyoid Ridge– Origin of mylohyoid muscle which
influences length of lingual flange
– Can be prominent, and/or sharp, requiring relief

• Genial Tubercles– Attachment for the genioglossus muscle
– Tubercles may be higher than the ridge with severe resorption

Frena (singular = frenum)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

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

Coronoid ProcessCoronoid 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
