lec 5 Flashcards
- Function: Primary stress bearing area. (maxilla)
RESIDUAL RIDGE
compact bone covered with a layer of fibrous connective tissue that is firmly attached.
crest
- Ideal features: of supporting structures
o Firmly attached.
o Keratinized or masticatory type.
o The submucosa should be resilient, fibrous connective tissue having average thickness and should be firmly attached.
o More surface area
o Favorable shaped
- Class I: SQUARE
o Associated with a high arched palate
o Less retention and stability
- Class II: TAPERED
o Comparatively less common.
- Class III: OVOID
Classification based on INTERRIDGE RELATIONSHIP
- Anterior
o Class I
o Class II
o Class III - Posterior
o Class I
o Class II
o Class III
Types based on the SHAPE (cross section)
A. ________ – Good prognosis.
B. ___________ – favorable prognosis, common in mandible.
C._____________ – poor prognosis; usually seen in mandible.
D. ________– poor prognosis.
E. _________– poor prognosis.
F. _________ – potential for difficulties.
U shape
V shaped/ tapered
Knife edge
Flat
Inverted
Undercut
- Function: Secondary stress bearing area (Maxilla)
RUGAE AREA
- It resists forward movement of the denture.
RUGAE AREA
- Significance: relief area
o Mucosa is thin and nonresilient.
o Fulcrum point: cause rocking of the denture.
MEDIAN PALATINE RAPHE
o Submucosa contains adipose tissue.
o Significance: secondary retentive area.
HARD PALATE
* Anterolateral
o Glandular region
o Significance: secondary retentive area
o Should not be compressed as it can interfere with the function of the glands.
HARD PALATE
* Posterolateral
o Most favorable for retention & stability.
- Class I – U shaped
o Not very favorable
o Slight movement will break the seal and cause loss of retention.
o Associated with tapered arch.
- Class II – V shaped
o Not very favorable
o Poor resistance to lateral forces.
- Class III – Flat or shallow
- Small tissue projection that covers incisive foramen through which nasopalatine nerves and vessels pass.
INCISIVE PAPILLA
- Significance: Relief area
o Pressure on nasopalatine nerve can cause paresthesia, pain, burning sensation.
INCISIVE PAPILLA
- Function: relived when prominent to prevent soreness
ZYGOMATIC PROCESS (MALAR PROCESS)
- Significance: it should be covered, teeth are not set in this region

- Location: fold of mucous membrane at the median line.
LABIAL FRENUM
- Significance: relief area (labial notch)
LABIAL FRENUM
- Single fold, double fold, broad and fan shape.
- Significance: relief area (buccal notch)
BUCCAL FRENUM
o Sulcal or low attachment.
Frenal Attachment Classification
* Class I
o Attaches midway between the sulcus and crest of the ridge.
Frenal Attachment Classification
* Class II
o Crestal or near crestal (high) attachment.
Frenal Attachment Classification
* Class III
- Location: sulcus area between labial and buccal frenum
