background: forensic odontology plays important role in identification of human remains in mass disasters such as air crash, tsunami, and accidents. palatal rugae act as an ideal requisite for human identification as they are present in all victims and are resistant to changes such as aging and trauma. the study aimed to analyze differences in shape and number of palatal rugae in population fro...

Successful Endodontic treatment depends upon Adequate knowledge about the morphology of root canal system and diagnosing the anatomic variants to avoid missed canals. Maxillary second molars usually present with two buccal and one palatal root. Occurrence of an extra palatal root is a rare scenario with prevalence of around 1.4%.. The following case report describes endodontic management of max...

Mammalian palatogenesis is a highly regulated morphogenetic process during which the embryonic primary and secondary palatal shelves develop as outgrowths from the medial nasal and maxillary prominences, respectively, remodel and fuse to form the intact roof of the oral cavity. The complexity of control of palatogenesis is reflected by the common occurrence of cleft palate in humans. Although t...

This report is concerned primarily with the chronological relations among stages of palatal closure, changes in facial profile, and the sex of a select group of human embryos representing the critical period of palate development. Histological serial sections of 40 human embryos ranging in age from 6 to 9 weeks and free from gross defects were studied using light microscopy and graphic reconstr...

Buchtová M.: Prenatal Development of Palatal Surface Structures. Acta Vet. Brno 2002, 71: 523-528. The aim of this study was to determine the beginning development of palatal surface. The surface structures were studied by scanning electron microscopy in foetuses and embryos of European pine vole (Microtus subterraneus, Arvicolidae, Rodentia). The estimated age of the subjects ranged from 13 to...

-A correlative histocytological study was made of 6 patients with palatal carcinomata and 342 patients with palatal lesions (primarily leukoplakias) associated with reverse smoking from the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. Among 6 histologically diagnosed carcinomata only 2 showed cytological findings typical of carcinoma. Of the 46 atypias diagnosed histologically among the other palatal...

Construction of complete dentures with adequate retention is a complex procedure. Various techniques have been tried to improve the retention of dentures. Use of suction cup in maxillary denture is one of the techniques to improve retention. Suction cup provides retention and stability by inducing negative pressure on the mucosal surface. Palatal Suction cups which provide high retention are no...

Accurate approximation of palatal contours of a maxillary complete denture to a patient's tongue can improve speech intelligibility, if other factors such as tooth position, occlusal plane, and occlusal vertical dimension are satisfactory. Customizing palatal contours of a maxillary complete denture can be accomplished by using tissue-conditioning material, which provides sufficient working tim...
