Flashcards
Hard Palate: Primary Stress-Bearing Area
Hard Palate: Primary Stress-Bearing Area
The main area where biting forces are transferred to the maxilla. It plays a vital role in supporting dentures.
Fovea Palatina: Supporting Structure for Dentures
Fovea Palatina: Supporting Structure for Dentures
A small depression on the hard palate that helps to support the denture and prevent movement.
Hamular Notch: Relief Area for Dentures
Hamular Notch: Relief Area for Dentures
A notch or indentation in the maxilla that should be relieved in denture design to avoid pressure points.

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.
