Study Notes
Repositioning Muscles for Removable Partial Dentures
- The mentalis muscle is more difficult to reposition for enhancing the comfort and function of a removable partial denture.
Muscle Attachments and Alveolar Bone Height
- The genial attachment is most likely to introduce problems due to loss of alveolar bone height.
Investigating Soft Tissue Lesions
- Ulceration, bleeding, or verrucous lesions should be investigated regardless of their relationship to the proposed denture base framework.
Interfering Frenum in Denture Design
- The maxillary labial frenum is more likely to interfere with denture design.
Abnormal Soft Tissue Lesions
- Suspicious or abnormal soft tissue lesions, such as those that are indurated, bleeding, or ulcerated, should be excised and submitted for pathologic examination before the fabrication of a removable partial denture.

Description
Test your knowledge of muscle attachment and freni in relation to alveolar bone height with this quiz. Explore the impact of muscle insertions near the alveolar crest and the potential problems associated with it. Identify the muscles most likely to introduce issues, such as the mylohyoid, buccinators, mentalis, and genioglossus muscles.
