Symptomatic palatal tremor is caused by a lesion in the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret and is associated with hypertrophic olivary degeneration that has multiple causes. Essential palatal tremor has no currently demonstrable cause and no accompanying physical or radiological signs. But it is probable that an organic genesis will become apparent. I suggest that some examples of palatal tremor...

BACKGROUND There is a lack of evidence on the relationship between prematurity and palatal abnormalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of palatal groove, the associated factors and the persistence time in preterm infants from birth to 24 months of age. METHODS The children's data, medical history and eating habits were collected using a questionnaire answered by the leg...

Cleft palate is a common congenital abnormality that results from defective secondary palate (SP) formation. The Sine oculis-related homeobox 2 (Six2) gene has been linked to abnormalities of craniofacial and kidney development. Our current study examined, for the first time, the specific role of Six2 in embryonic mouse SP development. Six2 mRNA and protein expression were identified in the pal...

Benign or malignant tumor is one of the frequent causes resection mandible. The extent and location decides mode treatment neoplastic lesion. Surgical removal oral neoplasm leads to an extensive mandible along with associated structures. Objective: This case report describes use palatal ramp prosthesis guide during movements restore a stable occlusal relationship additional acrylic buccal pad a...

IMPORTANCE This study evaluates a technique to estimate cleft severity and tissue hypoplasia in patients with cleft palate. Current classifications are limited to the morphologic characteristics of the clefts. A new classification is proposed in relation to the palatal index, which allows more individualized surgical attention for the cleft palate. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship of pala...

We studied the morphology and shape variation of the palatal organ and chewing pad of sucker fishes, family Catostomidae. The palatal organ is a muscularized structure that forms a large mass on the roof of the posterior part of the buccopharyngeal cavity in cypriniform fishes. It functions in coordination with the branchial arches to separate food items from inorganic debris during feeding. Th...

Purpose To perform a comparative analysis of the palatal bone thickness in Thai patients exhibiting class I malocclusion according to whether they exhibited a normal or open vertical skeletal configuration using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods Thirty CBCT images of Thai orthodontic patients (15-30 years of age) exhibiting class I malocclusion with a normal or open ...

AIM To investigate the effect of gestation, postmenstrual age, and orotracheal intubation on palate morphology. METHODS A prospective study was made of 76 newborn infants of 25 to 41 weeks' gestation. Palate dimensions were measured on plaster models produced from serial palatal impressions. Palate size relative to that of the mouth was assessed using a ratio of palate depth to palate width (...

The purpose of this study was to examine the success rate of paramedian palatal Orthosystem first- and second-generation implants used for anchorage in orthodontic treatment in patients treated by one experienced orthodontist. The records of 143 patients (90 female, 53 male, median age: 15.7 years, range: 10.2-50.9) receiving 145 palatal implants of the first or second generation (Orthosystem, ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The temporalis myofascial flap (TMF) is a method of palatal reconstruction that offers a single-stage, reliable, and functional technique to repair oncologic defects involving the oral cavity following tumor removal. It is hypothesized that both speech and swallowing function are preserved following TMF. STUDY DESIGN In a retrospective and prospective case series, this s...
