Study Notes
Denture Placement
- The denture should be located slightly anterior to the retromolar pad.
Bone Changes with Age
- As a person ages, the alveolar bone resorbs, leading to a decrease in bone height.
Lateral Posterior Border Placement
- The lateral posterior border of the denture should be placed in the hamular notch, a small depression behind the maxillary tuberosity.
Denture Base Coverage
- Covering a greater area with the denture base increases stability and retention.
Proper Extent of Denture Base
- Proper extent of the denture base is critical for stability, retention, and support.
- Inadequate extension can lead to discomfort, instability, and poor retention.
- Excessive extension can lead to tissue irritation and discomfort.
