    This document discusses the key anatomical structures that are important to consider when fabricating complete and partial dentures, including the lips, residual ridges, maxilla, mandible, and frena. Structures like the vermilion border, philtrum, nasolabial angle, maxillary tuberosities, incisive papilla, hamular notch, hard palate, median palatine raphe, torus palatinus, pear shaped pad, lingual tori must all be properly accounted for in denture design to ensure a comfortable, well-fitting prosthesis. Relieving pressure on the frena is also important to allow for proper denture movement.

    Anatomy for Complete and

    Partial Dentures
    Lips

    • Vermilion Border
    – Denture provides lip support
    • Affects vermilion border width
    Lips

    • Philtrum
    – Depression below nose
    Lips
    • Nasolabial Angle
    – Angle between columella of nose &
    philtrum of lip
    – Normally, approximately 90° as viewed in
    profile
    Residual Ridges

    • If ridges are severely resorbed, inform


    patient
    – “U”-shape
    – “V”-shape
    Maxilla
    • Maxillary Tuberosities
    – Oversized
    – Resorbed
    – Undercut
    Maxilla
    • Maxillary Tuberosities
    – Oversized
    – Resorbed
    – Undercut
    Maxilla
    • Incisive Papilla
    – Landmark for setting of teeth
    Maxilla
    • “Hamular” Notch
    – Posterior border denture
    • Between the bony tuberosity and hamulus
    • “Soft displaceable tissue”, for comfort and
    retention
    Maxilla
    • Hard Palate
    – Median Palatine Raphe (midline palatine
    suture)
    • A bony midline structure
    • May require relief when covered by a denture
    Maxilla

    • Torus Palatinus
    – May require removal
    Mandible
    • Pear Shaped Pad
    Mandible

    • Lingual Tori
    – Raised bony structures
    – May require relief when covered by a
    denture
    Frena (singular = frenum)
    • Must be relieved to allow movement, without
    impingement
