Aim & Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to look at the distribution and pattern of Fovea Palaltina among dentulous people.
Materials & Methods:
A clinical investigation was conducted for the presence and variations of fovea palatina in 300 dentulous subjects ranging in age from 18 to 40 years, with 150 males and 150 female patients. The posterior palatal seal area, the posterior extension of the upper denture, and the vibrating line have all been linked to the Fovea palatina, an important anatomical landmark in edentulous people.
Results:
The findings of this study can be used to compare the location and presence of fovea palatina in dentulous subjects. The square arch form was present in 113 subjects but not in 177. The square tapered arch form was present in 32 subjects but absent in 258. The tapered arch form was present in 105 subjects and absent in 185. The ovoid arch form was present in 33 subjects and absent in 257. Fovea palatine was present bilaterally in 111 subjects and absent in 179. It was present unilaterally in 69 subjects and absent symmetrically in 221 others. It was symmetrical in 29 subjects and non-symmetrical in 261 subjects. It was clinically visible in 142 subjects but not in 148. This was barely visible in 287 subjects and only partially visible in three. The U-shaped palate was present in 251 subjects but not in 39. The V-shaped palate was present in 18 subjects but not in 272. Flat shape palate was present in 25 subjects but not in 265 subjects. In 111 people, fovea palatina was present bilaterally. The fovea palatina was present symmetrically in 29 subjects but was not clearly visible in 142.
Conclusion:
Each individual's distribution pattern and transition from dentulous to edentulous may differ. As a result, both technical and physiological parameters should be considered when determining the location of the PPS area in the maxillary arch using the fovea palatina in both dentulous and edentulous patients
