Retromolar Pad Composition

• Contents: Superior constrictor + Buccinator + Temporal tendon
• Clinical significance: Important for posterior denture extension

Border Anatomy

• Distobuccal border: Influenced by coronoid process
• Masseteric notch: Formed by masseter muscle over buccinator
• Buccal frenum muscle: Levator anguli oris

Midline Considerations

• Midline relief: Depends on resiliency of midline suture
• Individual variation: Varies with suture mobility
