“…The results of the study showed that Class II type of soft palate is the most common and high in prevalence in the targeted population in Aseer Province, with 60% in group 1 and 44% in group 2; this finding is in contrast with the previous available conducted studies where Class I type of soft palate was most common [12–14, 16]. Such variation may be due to genetic differences.…”

“…As described above, soft palate plays a vital role not only in normal physiological functions but also during fabrication of prosthesis in various situations like complete dentures, obturators, palatal lift prosthesis, sleep apnea, and so on [1–6, 12–14]. Correct and exact identification of type of soft palate is of vital significance in diagnosis treatment planning and prognosis.…”

“…In order to correctly locate PPSA, careful observation and palpation of the tissues are necessary, as their locations vary with the contours of the soft palate. Thus, a combination of the palpatory and visual methods has been used in clinical situations to determine the type of soft palate [12–14, 19] which mostly depends on the experience of the clinician. But this method incorporates the operator's bias as well as patient bias.…”

Aim To determine the prevalence of type of soft palate in targeted population. Materials and Methods Using computer technology in dentistry, intraoral digital scanner, and 3D analysis software tool, study was conducted. 100 patients selected from the outpatient clinics were divided into two groups based on the ages of 20–40 years and 41–60 years with equal ratio of males and females. Each selected patient's maxillary arch was scanned with intraoral scanner; images so obtained were sectioned in anteroposterior cross section and with the 3D analysis software; the angulation between hard and soft palate was determined. Results The prevalence of type II soft palate (angulation between hard and soft palate is between 10 and 45 degrees) was highest, 60% in group 1 and 44% in group 2. The difference between genders was statistically significant with p value <0.05 in both the groups, although females had higher angulation compared to the males in all classes of both groups. Conclusions In targeted population of Aseer Province, Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of type II soft palate was more common, with higher soft palate angulation among females. The advanced age had no effect in the type of soft palate in the region.

“…It also reduces tongue irritation. 10,11,22 Past studies suggested anatomic relation between vibrating line and fovea palatinae in determining the posterior limit of the denture. 17 According to glossary of Prosthodontic terms Vibrating line is defined as " an imaginary area rather than line at the junction of immovable and movable tissue across the posterior part of the palate.…”

“…8 Besides denture qualities, posterior palatal seal serves as barrier and prevents food accumulation beneath the denture. 10,15 It maintains contact with the moving soft palate, reduces the patient awareness and thus reduces the gag reflex. It compensates for the curing shrinkage of acrylic denture base.…”

ABSTRACT… Objectives: Retention of maxillary denture is obtained by many factors including physical and physiological factors. Effective seal is obtained easily at buccal and labial borders of maxillarsy. However, it is difficult to obtain peripheral seal at posterior border of upper denture as there is no soft tissue draping. Fovea palatinae which has been considered as reliable anatomical guide in unmutilated mouth. Fovea palatinae are close to vibrating line and are in soft tissue making them useful as reference points for posterior limit of the denture. Our aim to identify the relative position of vibrating line with reference to the fovea palatinae for determining posterior border of the upper complete denture. Setting: Department of Prosthodontics, Lahore Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Method: 160 subjects were included in this study. The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria, Fovea palatinae was located and marked with the indelible pencil in the soft palate. Subjects were instructed to rehearse the "ah" sound in normal, unexaggerated way. Location of the vibrating line was marked with same indelible pencil. The position of the vibrating line whether in front, at or behind the fovea palatinae was noted.Results: Our study results shows in 72(45%) subjects vibrating line lies in front, 81(50.6%) subjects it lies at and 7(4.4%) subjects lies behind the fovea palatinae. Conclusion: Seal must be situated just anterior to the vibrating line and distal to hard palate at compressible tissue of soft palate.
