Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to measure the palatal mucosal thickness and examine the location of the greater palatine foramen using cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT).

Methods: In this study, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the maxillary posterior region of 120 subjects were evaluated. The palatal mucosal thickness (PMT), palatal width and depth, and location of the greater palatine foramen (GPF) were determined on CBCT. The differences in the palatal mucosal thickness according to gender and palatal width/palatal depth were analyzed. The location of the GPF related to the maxillary molars was noted.

Results: The mean palatal mucosal thicknesses from the canine to the second molar teeth were 3.66, 3.90, 4.06, 3.76, and 3.92 mm, respectively. The mean PMT at the second premolar was statistically thicker than at other regions (p < 0,001). There was no relationship between PMT and gender. However, the palatal depth and width of the males were greater than females. (p = 0.004 and p = 0.014, respectively) PMT in the low palatal vault group had statistically higher compared to the high palatal vault group. (p = 0.023) Greater palatine foramen was mostly observed between second and third molar teeth. (48%).

Conclusions: According to our results, first and second premolar regions can be preferable in soft tissue grafting procedures for safe and successful treatment outcomes. The measurement of the thickness of the palatal mucosa and the evaluation of the greater palatine foramen location before the surgical procedures are essential steps to harvest from the ideal donor site and to achieve optimal surgical outcomes.

使用锥形束计算机断层扫描评估腭粘膜厚度和腭大孔位置:一项回顾性研究。
目的:本研究旨在利用锥束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)测量腭粘膜厚度并检查腭大孔的位置。用CBCT测定腭粘膜厚度(PMT)、腭宽度和深度以及腭大孔(GPF)的位置。分析了不同性别和腭宽/腭深的腭粘膜厚度的差异。注意到GPF与上颌磨牙相关的位置。结果:从犬齿到第二磨牙的平均腭粘膜厚度分别为3.66、3.90、4.06、3.76和3.92mm。第二前磨牙的平均PMT在统计学上比其他区域厚(p 结论:根据我们的研究结果,在软组织移植手术中,第一和第二前磨牙区域可能是安全和成功的治疗结果。在手术前测量腭粘膜厚度和评估腭大孔的位置是从理想的供区采集和获得最佳手术结果的重要步骤。

期刊介绍: As the official English-language journal of the Japanese Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and the Asian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral Radiology is intended to be a forum for international collaboration in head and neck diagnostic imaging and all related fields. Oral Radiology features cutting-edge research papers, review articles, case reports, and technical notes from both the clinical and experimental fields. As membership in the Society is not a prerequisite, contributions are welcome from researchers and clinicians worldwide.
