Implication

Randomized trial investigates palatal structure differences in female surgery candidates, indicating unique morphometric features.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the three-dimensional relationships and dimensional differences of the bony palate and hard palatal mucosa.
  • Analyzed CT data from 116 female patients requiring orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery.
  • Determined anteroposterior jaw relationships using lateral cephalograms and classified participants into Class I, II, and III.
  • Employed non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon test and Steel–Dwass test) for intergroup dimensional difference analysis.
  • Palatal mucosal thickness showed significant variation with no age-related differences.
  • Class II exhibited a narrower bony palate and greater depth at the first premolar compared to Classes I and III.
  • No significant differences in palatal depth at the first molar region among the classes.
