Anatomic landmarks for B.D.S students

Editor's Notes

  1. Band of fibrous conn. Tissue Has no muscle fibres So, a passive frenum V-shaped notch is recorded in impression
  2. Separates the labial and buccal vestibule. Attach of the followig muscles Levator anguli oris orbicularis oris buccinator
  3. That portion of the oral cavity which is bounded on one side by the teeth ,gingiva and alveolar ridge and on other side by the lip & cheeks The vestibule is covered by the lining mucosa
  4. It extends from Buccal frenum to hamular notch.
  5. Distal to maxillary tuberosity
  6. Junction of movable and immovable part of soft palate. 2mm anteriorly to fovea palatinae
  7. Bilateral indentations near the midline of palate. Formed by coalescence of several mucous gland ducts. Posterior to junction of hard and soft palate. Aids in determining vibrating line.
  8. Junction between soft palate and hard palate Consists of 2 parts -pterygomaxillary seal -postpalatal seal
  9. Bulbous extension of residual ridge in 2nd & 3rd molar region. Gross enlargement (fibrous or bony –surgical correction).
  10. Support for the maxillary denture. Primary stress bearing area- horizontal portion of hard palate lateral to midline. Secondary stress bearing area –rugae.
  11. Residual bone covered by soft tissue Primary SBA – Posterior part Secondary SBA - crest of ridge
  12. Secondary stress bearing area. Should not be distorted in the impression.
  13. Relief necessary. Impingement –burning sensation, parasthesia and pain. Relief necessary.
  14. Extends from incisive papilla to distal end of hard palate Relieve adequately to avoid trauma from denture base.
  15. -Buccinator fibres attached to the frenum -Adequate relief
  16. Between Labial-buccal frenum.
  17. Buccal frenum to retromolar pad. Impression is widest in this area. Record adequate depth and width.
  18. Triangular soft pad of tissue,distal to 3rd molar region SUBMUCOSA- Loose conn. Tissue , mucous glands, fibres of buccinator, sup.constrictor, temporalis MUCOSA-keratinised .
  19. Fold of mucous membrane. Base of tongue to supra genial tubercle.
  20. Between lingual frenum to retromylohyoid curtain. Anterior region- lingual frenum to mylohyoid ridge. Premylohyoid fossa- premylohyoid eminence in impression. Border of Impression to make contact with the mucosa of the floor of the mouth when tongue touches the upper incisor. Overextension causes soreness and instability.
  21. Distal end of lingual sulcus. Area posterior to the mylohyoid muscle. Good seal aids in retention and stability.
  22. Area of muscle attachment (Genioglossus and Geniohyoid). Lies away from the crest of the ridge. Prominent in Resorbed ridges. Adequate relief to be provided.
  23. Area between the buccal frenum and anterior border of the masseter Primary stress bearing area-
  24. Residual bone with mucous membrane. Crest to be relieved. Buccal and lingual slopes are secondary stress bearing areas.
