Study Notes

Extra Oral Anatomical Landmarks

  • Interpupillary line serves as a reference for maxillary denture alignment.
  • Ala of the nose and tragus help determine horizontal plane orientation.
  • Naso-labial sulcus and modiolus are important for facial aesthetics and denture fit.
  • Philtrum and angle of the mouth influence denture contour and positioning.
  • Labiomental sulcus and vermillion border aid in defining the denture's borders.
  • Dr. Vibrating line marks the posterior limit of the maxillary denture, crucial for denture retention.

Labial Frenum

  • Fibrous band, possibly single or multiple, located at the midline of the maxilla.
  • Covered by mucous membrane, integral for denture retention.
  • Vibrating line's position confirms the posterior limit for optimal denture performance.

Maxillary Denture Foundation

  • Rugae area is classified as a secondary stress-bearing area, important for distributing occlusal forces.
  • Phonetic function is influenced by denture design; particularly affects articulation of the letter "S."
  • Rugae increases the surface area of the denture, enhancing retention and stability during function.
