    Study Notes

    Anatomical Features of the Lips

    • The philtrum is a midline shallow depression of the upper lip, starting at the labial tubercle and ending at the nose.
    • The tubercle is a little swelling in the midportion of the vermillion border of the upper lip.
    • The vermilion border represents the transitional zone between the skin and the mucous membrane of the upper and lower lips.

    Facial Features

    • The nasolabial groove is a furrow of variable depth that extends from the wing (ala) of the nose to a distance from the corner of the mouth.

    Prosthodontic Treatment

    • The main focus of noting extra-oral anatomical features in prosthodontic treatment is to ensure proper fitting and aesthetics of dental prosthetics.
