Anatomical landmarks in maxilla

 Limiting structures

Labial frenum
Single band of fibrous connective tissue, must be properly relieved.
Labial vestibule
Extends from labial frenum to buccal frenum. Proper lip support should be provided.
 Buccal frenum
Consist of one or more bands. Must be Relieved
Influenced by 3 muscles-  Orbicularis oris (forward), Buccinator (backward),  Caninus (position)
Buccal vestibule
Buccal frenum to hamular notch
Influenced by Buccinator, Modiolus, Coronid process of mandible
Hamular notch
Pterygomaxillary notch, Distal extension of denture ,Situated between the tuberosity and hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate.
Posterior palatal seal area
the soft tissues along the junction of the hard and soft palates on which pressure within the physiologic limits of the tissues can be applied by a denture to aid in the retention of the denture.
Synonyms: post dam area, postpalatal seal area

Supporting structures

Hard palate
Flat areas as secondary retentive areas.
Flat palate (not good support), V shaped palate (least favorable).
Residual ridge
Ridge left after the extraction of teeth. Mucosa is firmly attached to the periosteum of the bone. Consist of dense collagenous fibers.
Considered as a secondary stress-bearing area  because it is subject to resorption contrary to horizontal portion of hard palate.
Palatal rugae
Resist the horizontal forces against the denture, Should not be over  compressed.

Relief areas

 Incisive papilla
Pad of fiberous connective tissue over incisive foramen, Proper relief should be given.
Aid in arrangement of anterior teeth and jaw relation.
 Mid palatine raphe
Junction of palatine process of maxilla. Covered by a thin mucosa, Slightly elevated or raised.
Proper relief required.
Fovea palatine
Formed by coalescence of several mucous gland ducts. Landmark for location of vibrating line.

Maxillary Tuberosity
The medial & lateral walls resist the horizontal and torquing forces which would move the denture base in lateral or palatal direction.
Therefore, maxillary denture base should cover the tuberosities and fill the hamular notches.

  4. ARE YOU AWARE THAT MODERN NATURAL HERBAL MEDICINES OF THIS GENERATION NOW PERMANENTLY CURE DRUG RESISTANT DISEASES LIKE; HSV/HERPES, CANCERS, HIV/AIDS FOREVER WITHOUT A POSSIBLE COME BACK OR AFTER EFFECTS?
    It wonderfully worked for me;
    At first I was a bit skeptical about this Natural cure for herpes and other similar medicines. Discovering people with similar symptoms who are treated and cured by Dr Utu both on medias and in social medias on daily basis motivated me, so I contacted him for help!
    At first, I was a bit curious about this possible cure, but! I don't want to be left out without giving it a trial, so I contacted him as well.
    Some hours later he replied me, then he asked me some private questions, of which I honestly answered, I told him how I have lived and suffered with this disease and how much I will do anything to get rid of it. He assured me of total cure after taking his herbal medicines. It was even more easier than I expected. Also I never even imagined to get my parcels within five working days, but to my greatest surprise my parcels was brought to my doorstep by the end of the second day. I collected the parcel which I followed all the instructions as he had directed. Just as I was told "four weeks medication " my medicine finished in four weeks exactly. From week one of my medication I started noticing positive change in health. and in week two I could tell much more differences and I was so eager to even testify of life again in me.
    I patiently continue medication till the last bottle which was then week four. I was the first person the next day in the clinic for lab test. Not even a particle of herpes was found in my system when I collected my result. Knowing I'm now herpes negative at this point I proceeded to inform my doctor, he doubted me, that day he gave me a month appointment to be closely monitored. It's my health so I waited more six Months and again i went for 'lab test' in a different clinical lab.
    This time the result was still the same as the previous one. Also since this year I have been living my normal life and am still herpes free no symptoms and even till now no cold sore or outbreak. As a result of this herbal cure in my life and my family at large, I can boast of doctors today who through me, now uses African Traditional Roots and Herbs to TREAT AND CURE patients that are, CANCERS, HERPES, PARALYSIS, and HIV successfully today. Many are still ignorant of this I know.
    Contact Dr Utu directly today on; "drutuherbalcure@mail.com" to free yourself from emotional stress and become healthy again

  8. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  9. There is no other way to get the body of herpes virus other than detoxification using natural diet or pure herbs. The health industry is a billion dollars industry - which is why the big pharmaceuticals sued Dr. Sebi the moment he discovered a 1-Week CURE FOR HERPES (Oral and Genital). Most diseases are acquired by what you eat. Even when infected by someone, it thrives because your body is receptive and filled with mucus. No disease can survive in an electric filled body. What you eat will determine how you live, how you behave, and even how it relates to you. Detoxification is the heart of ridding the body of the herpes virus. There is no other way to bring the necessary result. There are three ways to achieve this; Stop putting acidic foods into the body - if possible eat only alkaline diet, Fast daily before eating if possible for a year, Cleanse the body of toxins and acids with Nze Njoku Herbal Formula (Which also increases oxygen to cells). Feed the body with the right nutrients to repair, rebuild, and strengthen it at a cellular level and watch the body heal itself.

    Some may wonder, how long is one expected to maintain such a diet and what herbs can help you achieve all these within few weeks?

    Nze Njoku Herbal Home provides all the
    answers.
