“…Barriviera, Duarte, Januario, Faber, and Bezerra () tested cone‐beam computerized tomography (CBCT) and succeeded in consistently obtaining high‐quality images of palatal soft tissues. These results were in accordance with those of Yilmaz, Boke, and Ayali () who were able to confirm that the area between the second premolar and second molar was most suitable for graft removal. CBCT is, however, associated with substantial radiation exposure.…”

“…Periodontal plastic surgical techniques have evolved to meet the esthetic and functional demands of contemporary patients (Koke, Sander, Heinecke, & Muller, 2003; Yilmaz, Boke, & Ayali, 2015). Several surgical techniques have been proposed to enhance the gingival soft tissue volume and appearance (Yilmaz et al, 2015). The most common donor site for soft tissue grafts in the oral cavity is the hard palate and tuberosity (Ioannou et al, 2015).…”

Objectives The aim of the present study was to measure the thickness of the palatal mucosa in a Jordanian (Middle Eastern) population as well as identify possible factors that may influence the thickness of palatal mucosa. Material and Methods Sixty period on tally healthy subjects (29 males and 31 females) were selected. Fifteen measurement points were defined on the palate. The mucosal thickness in the hard palate was determined by “bone sounding” with a Hu‐Friedy® round periodontal probe. Results The overall mean thickness of the palatal masticatory mucosa was 3.23 ± 0.47 mm.The mean thickness increased from the gingival margin to a more apical position irrespective of the tooth measured or side of the mouth in the following sequence: canine, second molar, first premolar, second premolar and lastly, the first molar. No significant difference between gender, smoking status, gingival phenotype andsides of the mouth with the thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa was determined. A significant difference between palatal shape and palatal gingival thickness was found. Conclusions The most appropriate site for graft harvesting is the canine‐premolar area 8‐13 mm from the mid‐palatal aspect of each respective tooth in a Jordanian population. Except for the palatal shape, the side of the mouth, smoking, gender or gingival phenotype does not affect the graft harvest. Clinical Relevance Scientific Rationale for Study Knowledge on the thickness of the masticatory mucosa is crucialin making decisions for surgical treatment modality and may affect surgical outcome. We measured the thickness of the palatal mucosa in a Jordanian population and identified possible influencing factors. Principal Findings The thickness varied according to the teeth and the canine to premolar region was found to be the appropriate donor site. Practical Implications This information on safe zone for graft harvest can guide the periodontist to make appropriate incisions and choose the appropriate location to obtain a graft of adequate thickness and dimensions.

“…The gingival thickness influences the periodontal status as thin gingival biotype is more prone to recession. Several reports on the measurement of gingival thickness have been published previously using the probe, ultrasonic device and CBCT .
