Study Notes

Retromolar Pad

Posterior aspect of the retromolar pad is composed of buccinator muscle, buccal fat pad, and part of the tendinous attachment of the temporalis muscle.
Primary function of the retromolar pad is to provide support and retention for a complete denture.

Buccal Shelf

Buccal shelf is primarily composed of the ramus of the mandible and the maxilla.
Primary function of the buccal shelf is to provide support for the cheek and lips.

Denture Macro-Anatomy

Cameo surface is the most posterior aspect of the denture, corresponding to the retromolar pad area.
Function of the cameo surface is to provide retention and support for a complete denture.
Primary composition of the peripheral borders is mucosa and underlying bone.

Border Molding

During border molding of the retromolar pad, the buccinator muscle should be activated.
During border molding of the buccal shelf, the zygomaticus major muscle should be activated.

Retromolar Pad Components

The buccal fat pad is NOT a component of the retromolar pad.
