Which structure does NOT interfere with (impinge on) the buccal flange of a maxillary complete denture?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Infraorbital rim
The infraorbital rim sits well above the denture-bearing area and has no direct relationship to the buccal flange. The zygomatic process, the frena, and the tuberosity, however, are classic landmarks the flange must be relieved or contoured around to avoid displacement or soreness.
