The tissues in the hamular notch (pterygomaxillary notch) are easily compressed and the postdam line of the upper denture should be carried into this region to ensure an adequate peripheral.
In case showing gross alveolar resorption, the hamular notch flattens and the buccinator fibers in the region may become very prominent. Care should be taken in such cases that the posterior edge of the upper denture is not carried too far back on to the pterygo-mandibular.
