Hard palate- consists of the two horizontal palatine processes and appears to resist resorption. For this reason it is a primary support area for the maxillary denture. The configuration of a high palate is not conducive to the stability and support of a denture due to the inclined planes.Midline palatal suture- extends from the incisive papilla to the distal end of the hard palate. The overlying mucosa is tightly attached and thin, relief is usually required to prevent soreness. The underlying bone is dense and often raised forming a torus palatinus.Major palatine foramen- the orifice of the anterior palatine nerve and blood vessels. Relief in this area is usually not required due to the abundant overlying tissues.
