Study Notes
Anatomical Landmarks in the Maxilla for Complete Denture Design
- The crest of the maxillary ridge is considered a primary stress-bearing area for the design of a complete denture.
- The tuberosities are capable of withstanding more force than other areas due to the consistency of the mucosa and underlying bone.
- The posterior palatal seal area is considered a relief area for the design of a complete denture.
- The maxillary cuspid and crest of the ridge are part of the supporting structures for the design of a complete denture.
- The posterior palatal seal area is considered a secondary stress-bearing area for the design of a complete denture.
- The crest of the maxillary ridge is considered a primary stress-bearing area.
- The maxillary ridge is responsible for providing support for a complete denture.
- The posterior palatal seal area is considered a secondary stress-bearing area.
- The hamular notch marks the posterior limit of the denture border.
- The maxillary residual ridge is crucial for achieving proper retention of a complete denture.
Test your knowledge of intraoral landmarks in prosthodontics with this quiz by Dr. Ahmed Adnan B.D.S MSc. Explore the anatomy of the edentulous ridge in the maxilla and mandible, and learn about the consistency of mucosa and underlying bone architecture. Identify the parts of the ridge capable of withstanding more pressure and understand their significance in complete denture design.
