although upper dentures do not have an inner edge, they may require supports along the posterior edge to ensure proper accuracy define points along the edge to generate a fence support depending on the size of the denture base, additional supports may be required lower denture base support tooth pockets the areas below tooth pockets must be supported support both upper and lower dentures be sure to support the papillae (triangular area between teeth) support under all pockets that have overhangs indicated in red adding supports in tooth pockets is discouraged as it may require additional finishing and may affect tooth fit lower denture supporting tooth pockets on lower denture upper denture supporting tooth pockets on upper denturefence supports on tooth pockets on lower denturefence

with fence supports the outer anterior area is typically a large overhang that requires dense supports this is required for both upper and lower dentures the example pictured below is an upper denture
