Abstract :
This review article delves into the
advancements in the assessment and management of
palatal masticatory mucosa, with a particular emphasis
on the thickness of the palatal mucosa and its
implications for periodontal and peri-implant surgeries.
It highlights the pivotal role of cone beam computed
tomography (CBCT) in evaluating Thickening of the
palatal mucosa, despite its inherent limitations in soft
tissue visualization. The paper discusses the evolution of
mucogingival surgery, including the classification of
marginal tissue recession and soft tissue grafts, and
examines the histology of palatal mucosa. It also
evaluates the indications, predictability, and clinical as
well as aesthetic outcomes of free gingival graft (FGG) &
connective tissue graft (CTG) procedures. Various
methodologies to measure palatal mucosa thickness are
explored, alongside strategies to overcome CBCT's
limitations in soft tissue assessment. The review
underscores the significance of a comprehensive
understanding of palatal masticatory mucosa's anatomy
and histology, alongside the surgical techniques available
for managing mucogingival deficiencies. It aims to
enhance the predictability and aesthetics of periodontal
and peri-implant surgeries through advancements in
diagnostic and surgical techniques, coupled with a
deeper understanding of tissue biology.
