2. WHY WE SHOULD KNOW THAT?
To have the knowledge about the nature of denture
supporting and limiting structures, which allow me to
construct a complete denture with maximum stability,
retention and support. That denture can give me maximum
comfort, function, esthetic and preservation of remaining
structures

3.LIMITING
STRUCTURES
4. CRITERIA OF STRESS BEARING AREA
1.Formed from dense bone with its trabeculae oriented
perpendicular to occlusal forces
2.Even thickness submucosa with structures act as
cushion (muscle fibers, salivary gland, fat tissue) and
firmly attached to bone
3.Covered with moderate and even thickness of
keratenized stratified squamous cell masticatory
mucosa.
4.To be oriented at wright angle to occlusal forces
