Abstract

The origin of the 15 levator menti muscles were examined by dissection. The cadavers had been fixed in formalin. The following observations were made. Sixty-six per cent of the muscles examined originated on the crest of the bone of the residual ridge. Twenty per cent of the muscles originated between the crest of the residual ridge and the fornix of the Iabial vestibule.
