The depth of the sulcus is dependent on the height of the alveolar ridge, the mobility and tension of the surrounding muscles and the alveolar mucosa lining the area. Over extension of the denture, in height or width, in the sulcus will cause instability or soreness, as will any roughness of the denture periphery. The mucogingival line forms the junction between the attached and reflected mucosa.
