Transfer of posterior palatal seal area on maxillary cast: A modified technique

Evaluating vibrating line location with respect to palatine fovea in various soft palate types

“…However, lack of correlation with gender and soft palate types with vibrating line location reported. 16 Locating exact vibrating line in various soft palate forms is mandatory for well retentive denture fabrication as it ensures good posterior border seal 21,22 . Anatomically stable landmarks like fovea palatine aid in its recording location of vibrating line.…”

“…Anatomically stable landmarks like fovea palatine aid in its recording location of vibrating line. Inaccuracy and improper registrations of anatomical and physiological landmarks while maxillary denture fabrication attributes to denture retention failure 22,23 . Careful examination and assessment of anatomical landmarks during diagnostic phase of treatment can alleviate denture retention problem.…”

Treatment of an Ill-Fitting complete dental prosthesis with digital sensor device: A case report

“…[ 4 ] It also prevents food accumulation between posterior border of denture and soft palate, reduces the tendency to gag as the posterior limit is confined, makes the sunken distal border of the denture less noticeable to the tongue, supplies a thickened area that provides added strength to the denture and compensates for polymerization shrinkage. [ 4 5 ] This area can take up pressure within physiological limits to help in retention.”[ 6 ] Skinner et al . evidenced the significance of PPS and as an important anatomical landmark to be recorded for denture retention in the post-dam region.…”

“…[ 8 ] Hardy and Kapoor classified techniques for recording PPS into functional, semi-functional, and empirical techniques. [ 5 ] The conventional method of recording PPS proposed by Winkler involves the use of T-burnisher and visual inspection of postdam area by phonetic method. [ 4 ] Miller used a ball burnisher to palpate the width and displaceability of PPS tissues.…”
