“…These studies also showed that crook shaped type is the least typical soft palate which was not a finding in our study. Type 2 was the most common soft plate type in a study by Raja Lakshmi et al, (2016) and Praveen et al According to More et al butt type of morphology were most common in healthy individuals (More et al, 2015).…”

Objective: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic precancerous condition affecting the oral cavity, which is progressive and characterised by burning sensation and fibrotic change leading to restriction of mouth opening. This study evaluated the morphology of soft palate in different stages of OSMF patients using digital lateral cephalogram and compare it with healthy individuals. Methods: The study included 60 subjects, who were grouped as 30 OSMF and 30 healthy subjects from the same geographic population. Digital lateral cephalograms were taken with Planmeca Proline XC (Oy, Helsinki, Finland). Soft palate morphology was evaluated using Lateral Cephalogram, and the results were analysed statistically. Results: Leaf-shaped (Type 1) soft palate was commonly seen in the control group and stage I and II OSMF. Stage III OSMF patients presented with a butt-shaped (Type 3) soft palate. As the disease progressed, there was a conversion of Type 1 variety of soft palate to Type 3 variety. There was a gradual reduction in the length of the soft palate in the anteroposterior direction in OSMF patients compared to the control group. Conclusion: Early cephalometric diagnosis of soft palate changes may play a pivotal role in the overall management of OSMF.

“…We can say that CBCT is more useful to show length and width changes in OSMF patients. Findings of length, width & angle changes were in accordance with Raja Lakshmi et al, 16 Tekchandani et al 1 Angle was not measured in their study. Tekchandani et al 1 compared clinical and histological grades of OSMF with radiographic variables.…”

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic progressive, scarring disorder of oral cavity, which includes buccal mucosa, tongue, lips, anterior faucial pillars, soft palate, and oropharynx. Changes in soft palate morphology will start even before the OSMF, present itself clinically. These changes can lead to sleep apnea, difficulty in speech, swallowing & respiration. Various radiographs are good diagnostic aid to assess the soft palate and its morphology or any changes in morphology. To evaluate and compare soft palate morphology and dimensions in various stages of OSMF with control by radiographic evaluation.: 60 patients were evaluated and compared for soft palate morphology, its length, width and angle by using lateral cephalogram and Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Most common type of soft palate was found to be type 1 (leaf shaped) in both groups as well as by both radiographic techniques. Significant decrease in length and increase in width with increasing grades of OSMF group. As per p value CBCT gave more precise result. As the OSMF progresses soft palate becomes stout and bulky and significant changes occur in soft palate dimensions and are better evaluated by CBCT. As involvement of the soft palate is the earliest change to be noticed, radiographs should be used as one of the diagnostic aids in OSMF patients.

“…Anatomical deficiencies, such as cleft palate, are known to cause velopharyngeal insufficiency, or the inability of the velopharyngeal mechanism to completely close off the oral cavity from the nasal cavity. The literature has shown that velar shape may be pertinent to patient health and well-being, specifically relative to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)1 and oral submucous fibrosis 2345…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate variations in velar shape according to age, sex, and race using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods The study sample consisted of 170 participants (85 children, 85 adults) between 4 and 34 years of age. Velar morphology was visually classified using midsagittal MRI scans for each participant by 2 independent raters. Inter- and intra-rater reliability was assessed. Statistical analyses were performed to identify correlations of velar shape with sex, age, and race. Results The most frequent velar shape was “butt” for both adults (41%) and children (58%) in this study. The least common shapes for adults were “leaf” and “S.” The children did not exhibit any “leaf” or “straight” velar shapes. A statistically significant difference was noted for age with respect to velar shape ( P =0.014). Sex and race were found to have no significant impact on velar shape in this study. Conclusion When using MRI to evaluate velar morphology, the “butt” shape was most common in both children and adults. Velar shape varied significantly with age, while race and sex did not have a significant impact.
