    Study Notes

    Anatomical Landmarks in the Maxilla for Dentures

    • The primary stress-bearing area in the maxilla is the hard palate, which provides stability and support for complete dentures due to its dense bone structure.

    • The maxillary tuberosity is a crucial component of the supporting structures for complete denture design, helping to anchor the denture securely in the posterior region of the maxilla.

    • The incisive papilla area serves as a relief area in the maxilla, intended to avoid pressure on sensitive tissues and to ensure comfort during denture wear.

    • Marginal gingiva plays a role as a limiting structure in the maxilla, defining the boundaries of the denture base and preventing movement or displacement of the complete denture.

    • The alveolar ridge is recognized as a secondary stress-bearing area in the maxilla; it can distribute minor forces but is less stable compared to the primary stress-bearing areas.
