The posterior palatal seal area has remained a subject of controversy as far as the marking of the anterior and posterior vibrating lines are concerned. Sometimes, the dentures are over extended or under extended which will either cause discomfort to the patient or will be less retentive to horizontal forces. Then in order to improve its retention the dentist has to perform various corrective measures. This technique describes the visual location of the anterior vibrating line by considering the difference in the colour and variations in the anatomic contour of the hard palate with the corresponding soft palate which is a very important step in the fabrication of a complete dentures or any removable prosthesis requiring post damming.Keywords

Introduction: Spina bifida is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closure of the embryonic neural tube. Some vertebrae overlying the spinal cord are not fully formed and remain unfused and open. If the opening is large enough, this allows a portion of the spinal cord to protrude through the opening in the bones.
Aims of Study: To study an abnormal case of Spina Bifida Cystica
Material and Method: The present study is a case report of a 11 day old female child who reported to the pediatric surgery department with the chief complaint of a cystic swelling of 53cm in a thoraco lumber region since birth. The swelling was soft but tense and the skin over the swelling was thinned out. The child showed some signs of lower limb involvement which need to confirmed.
Result: On anatomical examination it was found to be a case of developmental anomaly of vertebral column in thoraco lumbar region which is against the lumbo-sacral region which is the most common site, with spinal cord involvement (neural tube defect).
On test of illumination, it was found to be partially illuminated and X rays and MRI findings showed non fusion of vertebral column with abnormal protrusion of spinal cord through the defect.
Conclusion: It is a case of meningomyelocele( spina bifida) caused by abnormal closure of neural folds of IIIrd and IV weeks of developments leading to neural tube defect. It was a spina bifida of cystic variety which mostly accomplish with lower limb involvement.
