Study Notes
Posterior Palatal Seal (PPS)
- Located at the junction between immovable and movable parts of the soft palate
- Failure to relieve this area can cause irritation and burning sensation at the anterior part of the palate
Vibrating Line
- An imaginary line across the posterior part of the soft palate marking the division between movable and immovable tissues
- Identified when the movable tissues are functioning
Incisive Papilla
- A pad of fibrous connective tissue anteriorly overlying the incisive foramen
- Clinical consideration: take care not to compress the papilla during the impression procedure
