“…There is a great deal of variation regarding position of fovea palatine with relation to the vibrating line. According to Zarb [5], fovea palatine is 2mm behind the posterior vibrating line, Lye [8] stated it to be 1.31 mm anterior to anterior vibrating line and according to Chen [9] and it is either on or behind the anterior vibrating line. The reliability of the fovea palatinethus remains a controversial issue for locating maxillary posterior denture border.…”

Background: The posterior palatal seal (PPS) area plays a major role in retention of a maxillary denture. Many dentures have failed due to faulty recording of posterior palatal seal area. Hence, locating posterior palatal seal area is a critical step in complete denture fabrication. Various techniques have been described in the literature for locating the posterior border of maxillary complete denture. One of the most commonly used methods is the one that uses anatomical landmark like fovea palatine for locating the palatal seal area. However, many studies show a wide range of variation regarding position of fovea palatine with the vibrating line. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 subjects were selected for the study and clinical examination carried out to mark the vibrating line and fovea palatine. The location of vibrating line whether it is anterior to fovea palatine, on the fovea palatine or posterior to the fovea palatine in the different soft palate type(Class I, II or III) was recorded using the phonation method. Results: The vibrating line was located interiorly to the fovea palatine in 70%, 54% and 60% of the subjects with Class I, II and III soft palate. The vibrating line was located on the fovea palatine in22%, 40% and 36% of the subjects with Class I, II and III soft palate and posteriorly to the fovea palatine in 23%, 5% and 3% of the subjects with Class I, II and III soft palate respectively. Conclusion: The vibrating line was predominantly found to be anterior to the fovea palatine in all the soft palatal forms.

“…According to Lye, fovea palatini is located 1.31mm anterior to anterior vibrating line. 4 In our study it is located 2.44mm anterior to the anterior vibrating line (but within the soft palate). According to Lye; anterior vibrating line is an imaginary line that marks the beginning of motion of the soft palate.…”

“…One of the easiest and most commonly practiced method for determining the extent of posterior palatal seal and that of the maxillary complete denture is using the anatomical landmarks (fovea palatini and hamular notch). 2,3 However there is great 1.31mm anterior to the anterior vibrating line (Lye), 4 either on or behind the anterior vibrating line (Chen), 5 about 2 mm behind the vibrating line, which is posterior vibrating line as it is produced during phonation of "ah" sound (Zarb Bolender). 6 Chen thus concluded that the fovea palatini are not reliable guides for locating posterior border of the maxillary denture.…”

Introduction: Locating and incorporating posterior palatal seal (PPS) in maxillary denture is an important clinical procedure for retention. The use of anterior and posterior vibrating lines, hard and soft palate junction, fovea palatini and hamular notches as references to locate PPS, are largely disputed.Objective: To verify the relationship between fovea palatini, anterior and posterior vibrating line, and hard and soft palate junction and their role in locating PPS area. Materials & Method: 50 subjects were randomly selected. In each subject, hard and soft palate junction, anterior and posterior vibrating lines and fovea palatini were located and marked. Using Vernier caliper and divider, the distance between these lines and fovea palatini were measured and assessed.Result: V44% showed fovea palatini at hard and soft palate junction, 24% between junction and anterior vibrating line/vibrating line, 6% at anterior vibrating line, 24% between anterior and posterior vibrating lines and 2% at posterior vibrating line. In 44%, hard and soft palate junction coincided with anterior vibrating line. In the rest, mean distance was 2.76 mm right, 2.38 mm mid line and 2.79 mm left. 20% subjects revealed one vibrating line; 80% subjects had two vibrating lines with the mean distance 5.55 mm on right, 6.22 mm mid line and 5.40 mm on left.Conclusion: Recording posterior palatal seal is an important clinical step thus arbitrarily scraping of the cast using fovea palatini and hamular notch as reference, should be discouraged. Locating anterior and posterior vibrating lines and using them to determine the posterior extension and PPS should be recommended.Orthodontic Journal of Nepal, Vol. 6 No. 1, June 2016, pp.32-34

“…The phonation "ah" sound method for vibrating line of palate is used in this study, which is convenient, mostly taught and used in USA, Canada schools and also in our Pakistani dental institutes [20,21]. Research work by Lye TL [22] reported that the vibrating line is positioned 1.31 mm (mean) posterior to foveae palatinae. In another study, Chen [11] utilized the nose blowing method for location of vibrating line.…”

“…On clinical, radiographic and histologic examination, investigators observed a mean distance of 1.31 mm between fovea palatinae and the vibrating line [22]. In another similar kind of study, researchers found the fovea palatinae at the vibrating line in 25% of the subjects.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the mean distance between the vibrating line and fovea palatinae in Class I, Class II and Class III Soft Palate types. Methodology: This study was conducted at Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ebad Khan Institute of Oral Health Sciences Karachi among 197patients. Duration of study was six months. All patients were examined for vibrating line clinically, assessed using phonation method. Subsequently, distance between vibrating line and fovea paltatinae was measured with uncalibrated compass in various contours of soft palate. Results: Out of 197 patient, the vibrating line was seen in130 (64%) anterior to fovea palatinae, whereas, 67 (34%) vibrating line was at the fovea palatinae. The mean distance of those anterior located vibrating line from fovea palatine was calculated as 2.13 (±0.82) mm in Class, 2.07 (±0.69) mm in Class II and 1.80 (±0.82) mm in Class III soft palate contours. Statistical analysis showed no significant between gender, while statistically significant difference among age group and mean distance of anterior located vibrating line from fovea palatinae were found. Conclusions: The mean distance of vibrating line which is predominately found anterior to the fovea palatinae was 2.07 (±0.77) mm.
