Definition

According to GPT “It is defined as a soft tissue 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."

Functions

Retention

Reduce patient awareness

Reduce food accumulation

Reduce patient discomfort

Compensate for volumetric shrinkage

Anatomic considerations

Anatomic considerations

Posterior palatal seal divided according to anatomic boundaries into

1) Pterygomaxillary seal

2) Post palatal seal

Anatomic consideration

Hamular process

Anatomical considerations

Maxillary tuberosity

Anatomic Considerations

Hamular notch

Anatomical considerations

Pterygomandibular raphe

Anatomic Considerations

Fovea palatini

Anatomic Considerations

Median palatal raphe

Anatomic considerations

Torus palatinus

Physiologic consideration

SalivaPresence of thick ropy saliva can create hydrostatic pressure in the area anterior to the posterior palatal seal , resulting in a downward dislodging forces

Anterior vibrating line

Posterior vibrating lines

Classification of soft palate

Rationale of recording posterior palatal seal

1) To establish positive contact

2) To serve as a guide for

positioning the impression tray

3) To create slight displacement

of the soft palate

4) To obtain adequate

retention and seal.

Techniques

Empirical

Conventional technique

Conventional technique

Conventional technique

Scraping of the cast

Vid4.mov

Conventional technique

Advantages

Trial base is more retentive

Psychologic security to the patient

Practitioner can determine the retentive qualities in the finished denture

Patient realizes the posterior extent which may ease the adjustment period

Conventional technique

Disadvantages

Not a physiologic technique

Potential for overcompression of tissues

Fluid wax technique

Fluid wax technique

Fluid wax technique

Advantages

Physiologic technique

Over compression of tissues is avoided

Posterior palatal seal is incorporated into the

trial denture base for added retention

Mechanical scraping of the cast is avoided

Fluid wax technique

Disadvantages

More time is necessary during the impression appointment

Difficulty in handling materials

Arbitrary scraping of the master cast

Extended palatal technique

Proposed by Silvermann

Posterior border of the denture can be extended by 8mm for patients with Class I soft palate

Selective pressure technique

Adding a posterior palatal seal to the existing denture

Adding a posterior palatal seal to the existing denture

Posterior palatal seal configuration

Troubleshooting

1) Underextension

2) Underpostdamming

3) Overpostdamming

4) Overextension
