Sažetak
The aim of this study was to clinically determine the thickness of masticatory mucosa in the hard palate and tuberosity as potential donor sites for subepitelial autotransplatation tissue for moderate ridge augmentation procedures to acheive better aesthetics of the pontics of fixed partial dentures. In 102 periodontally healthy fully dentate subjects the masticatory thickness was assessed by bone sonding with a periodontal probe. Seventeen measurement points were defined, 15 on hard palate located on 3 lines running at different distances parallel to gingival margin and 2 on tuberosity. Data were analysed to determine differences between gender, different body mass index and different shapes of hard palate, using t test and analysis of variance. The mucosa on the hard palate was significantly thicker than on the tuberosity. The thickest mucosa was registered on the second and the third line behind canines and on all 3 lines behind the first premolar, which are recomanded as potential donor sites. The thickness increased from the first line behind gingival margin towards the third line. Males had significanly thicker mucosa than females (p<0, 01), except for the sites behind the first molar (p>0, 05) where the mucosa was the thinnest in the both gender, which was attributed to the protuberance of the palatal root of the first molar. The same was with the body mass index. There was no significant differences in the thickness of the mucosa between the oval and the square palatal shapes (p>0, 05). Therefore canine-premolar palatal region is recommanded for harvesting free subepitelial autotransplatate tissue for moderate augmentation of alveolar ridges for achiving optimal aesthetics of the pontics.
