“…Findings in this study do not indicate an ethnic difference in relation to palatal height and width, although in a previous study such a difference was recorded in the maxillary arch dimensions (Younes, 1984). In agreement with other research reports there was a trend towards an increased palatal index from childhood to adulthood (Ashley-Montagu, 1934;Shapiro, Redman & Gorlin, 1963;Knott & Johnson, 1970). At level 1 the palatal index was significantly increased from the primary to mixed and permanent dentitions.…”

The present study constitutes an attempt to compare normal traits for palatal height and width at different stages of dentition development of two ethnic groups of the Middle East. The observations were obtained from 346 randomly selected normal subjects, 188 Saudis and 158 Egyptians. The stone models were divided into three categories in both groups--primary, mixed and permanent dentitions. Palatal index values were calculated at two levels. Vernier calipers were used to measure the palatal width. Palatal depth was measured by profile Gauge by Vitrex. The results of this study demonstrate no significant difference between ethnic groups at levels 1 and 2 in relation to the palatal height, width and index. For both groups, palatal index increased significantly from the primary to mixed and permanent dentition at level 1. At level 2, palatal index and height showed decreases in measurement in the mixed dentition compared with the primary and the permanent dentitions. Subjective assessment of the palatal height correlated with palatal index. The casts were then labelled so that the shallow group had the smallest palatal index followed by the normal and the deep group had the largest palatal index. The results contribute to the information available on the development of palatal shape within two Middle Eastern populations. Knowledge of the normal range in shape can act as a baseline for studies of certain oral developmental abnormalities.

“…In a cohort of patients older than 21 years and free of periodontal disease, this study showed that the available connective tissue graft dimensions that could be obtained from the palatal donor site are large enough to allow a safe withdrawal in a high percentage of patients. Our results are concordant with those reported by Redman et al, 9 who found a mean height of 14.9 ± 2.93 mm in men and 12.7 ± 2.45 mm in women, but differ from those of other studies 10 , 11 . These discrepancies may be explained by differences in location at which the measurements were performed.…”

“…Despite using the landmarks proposed by Reiser et al 6 for localizing the GPA at the junction of the vertical and horizontal walls of the hard palatal vault, we concluded that it is still possible to withdraw a 5‐mm‐high connective tissue graft in 100% of the cases and an 8‐mm‐high connective tissue graft in 93% of the cases in the premolar area. Previous studies 8 , 11‐13 investigating masticatory mucosal thickness had shown that the palatal root of the first molar represented an anatomic barrier in graft harvesting. In our study, the canine exhibited the smallest height.…”

“…The palatometer, which has been used by several investigators (8-10) has the advantage of being usable on both live subjects and casts. It has been stated that greatest palatal height is found anterior to the first molars (5). In this study the profile gauge or template (4) was used for measuring palatal height because it was inexpensive and quick to use.…”

In this study a palatal index (P.I.) was established for 121 randomly selected normal Australian children. Mean P.I. indices were compared in the primary, mixed and permanent dentitions. A subjective assessment of relative palatal height was also carried out by two independent examiners and an attempt was made to examine the reliability of the subjective assessment, and its validity compared with the P.I. Measurements were recorded on stone casts at Level 1 (distal to the primary second molars/second premolars) and Level 2 (between primary first and second molar/first and second premolars). At Level 1 the mean P.I. increased significantly from the primary to the mixed and permanent dentitions. At level 2 the P.I. remained stable. Findings indicate that subjective assessment of relative palatal height was fairly reliable: there was approximately 80% interexaminer and intraexaminer agreements. Subjective assessment of palatal height correlated reasonably well with the P.I.
