Abstract

Aim- The present study aimed to investigate the variation of soft palate morphology in gender groups.
Materials & Methods- The correlations of radiographic velar length (VL), velar width (VW), pharyngeal depth (PD), and Need’s ratio were determined. The study sample consisted of 20 subjects aged between 15 and 25 years. VL and PD were measured from a digital radiograph and the Need’s ratio was calculated.
Results & Conclusion- The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis to find the correlation of radiographic velar length (VL), velar width (VW), pharyngeal depth (PD), and Need’s ratio with gender. The mean value of VL, VW values were higher in males. A significant correlation was observed between the mean VL, V and PD. Need’s ratio was higher among female subjects. By this study, it has been concluded that with an increase in the angulation of soft palate there is a decrease in Need’s ratio. It also has some correlation in assessing the retentive qualities of denture along with angulation of soft palate.
