•
VIBERATING LINE-an imaginary line across the posterior part of
the palate marking the division between the movable and
immovable tissues of the soft palate. this can be identified when
the movable tissues are functioning.
The anterior vibrating line is an imaginary line located at the
junction of the attached tissues overlying the hard palate and
movable tissues of the immediately adjacent soft palate.(valsalva
maneuver –method)
The posterior vibrating line is an imaginary line at junction of the
aponeurosis of the tensor veli palatini muscle and the muscular
portion of the soft palate.

26. Def..Anatomically buccal shelf is defined as the part of the basal
seat located posterior to the buccal frenum.(Boucher 10 th edition).
• The area between the mandibular buccal frenum and the anterior
edges of masseter muscle is known as buccal shelf(b12)
Boundaries:
• Anteriorly-buccal frenum.
• Posteriorly-retromolar pad.
• Medially-crest of the ridge
• Laterally-external oblique ridge.
Width-4-6 mm wide on average mandible.
• 2-3 mm or less in narrow mandible.
• The total widthof the bony foundation in this region becomes
greater as alveolar bone resorption continues.the reason is that
the inferior border of the mandible is great than the width at the
alveolar process.
Clinical implication: upper slopes of the buccal shelf adjacent to the
pad helps to resist the distal dis placement of the denture
because of the diminished available support,a narrow mandible is
usually considered the most difficult to manage.
• Clinically care should be taken to cover the area
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. • Interpreting the buccal shelf area:While
recording the final impression additonal load is
applied in this area,the trays comes in to direct
cotact with the mucosa.
• Preprosthetic surgery:no
• When the residual ridge becomes flat the
buccinator is often attached to the center of the
ridge.the buccinator muscle can be covered by
the denture in this area because the muscle
fibres run anterioposteriorly parallel to the bone
and the denture does not resist the contracting
forces of the muscles.the inferior part of the
buccinator is attached to the buccal shelf of the
mandible and the contraction of the muscle
doesnot lift the denture.(resorbtion
• Resisted by horizontal fibres of buccinator
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. Histology: mucous membrane-is more loosely
attached and less keratinised than the mucous
membrane covering the crest of the ridge.
• Submucosa:thicker,fibres of buccinator are
found running horizontally in the submucosa
immediately overlying the bone.
• The mm overlying the buccal shelf may not be
suitable histologically to provide primary support
for the denture as the mm overlying the crest of
the ridge.
• Bone:bs is covered by layer of smooth compact
boneor cortical bone(with it’s haversian
system,the bone is very dense and the trbaculae
are arranged almost at right angles to the jaw
closure) plus the fact that the bucal shelf lies at
right angles to the vertical occlusal
forces,therfore it is more suitable primary stress
bearing area for the lower denture.

29. • Blood supply—artery supply—buccal
artery,inferior alveolar artery,nerve supply—
buccal nerve ,inferior alveolar nerve,buccal

METHOD
• Experienced operators
• Selective activation of facial
musculature/tipping forces to denture
• Identify areas of over extension/under
extension
• Disadvantage-subjective& lead to over
adjustment/modification
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Indicator paste
• Pressure areas on intaglio surface&
not used for border evaluations
• Low viscosity &displaced by
functional movements
• Disadv-cannot built appreciable
thickness without distortion so, not
used for under extension
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. Disclosing waxes
• Exhibit higher viscosities than
indicator paste , it can with stand
greater loads without complete
displacement so, they built up to
thickness
• Modification with silicone
gels/petrolatum
