Abstract
Maxillary palatal mucosa is the most frequently used donor site of the soft tissue for periodontal plastic surgery. In our study, thickness of the palatal mucosa between the mesial side of the maxillary first premolars and the distal side of the maxillary first molars was measured with a periodontal probe and an ultrasonic device in 30 young Korean adults. Using the data, the possibility of the clinical application of ultrasonic devices was evaluated. The results of this study were as follow; 1. The thickness of the palatal mucosa of the maxillary premolars is the thickest and that of the mid-palatal portion of the maxillary first molar is the thinnest. 2. The thickness of the palatal mucosal tissue increases from the gingival margin to the mid-palatal suture. 3. The measurements of the periodontal probe and the ultrasonic device revealed the strong positive correlations.
