Introduction
M.M
Devan Dictum Aim of a prosthodontist is not only the meticulous replacement of what is missing, but also perpetual preservation of what is present Complete denture must function in harmony with the remaining natural tissues so for the success, a through knowledge of the anatomy is a must.

Labial frenum
Single
Labial vestibule
Extends
from labial frenum to buccal frenum. Proper lip support should be provided.
Buccal frenum
Consist
of one or more
Buccal vestibule
Buccal
frenum to hamular
notch Influenced by
Alveolar ridge
Ridge
left after the extraction of teeth. Mucosa is firmly attached to the periosteum of the bone. Consist of dense collagenous fibers.
Maxillary tuberosity
Hamular notch
Pterygomaxillary
notch Distal extension of denture Identifying the PPS area. Situated between the tuberosity and hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate.
Hard palate
Flat
areas as secondary retentive areas. U shaped palate Flat palate (not good support) V shaped palate (least favorable)
Fovea palatine
Formed
by coalescence of several mucous gland ducts. Landmark for location of vibrating line.
of palatine process of maxilla. Covered by a thin mucosa Slightly elevated or raised Proper relief required.
Incisive papillae
Pad
of fiberous connective tissue over incisive foramen Proper relief should be given. Aid in arrangement of anterior teeth and jaw relation.
Rugae
Resist
the horizontal forces against the denture. Should not be over compressed.
