Anatomical study of the palatal soft tissue based on radiographic data sets (disease: none).
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Investigation of a non-invasive measurement technology for the palatal soft tissue in terms of an anatomical study. This is a single-arm study, no control group available.

Eligibility
Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to 75 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Age: 18 - 75 years • fully dentulous in the upper jaw (no prosthetic restorations on the upper anterior teeth, as the measurements for determining the gingival biotype are made here) • healthy periodontium (no acute or healed periodontal diseases) • no medication that can cause gingival hyperplasia (e.g. anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, calcium antagonists) • no previous surgery in the region to be examined (anterior lateral palate) • already existing radiographic data, which was done during therapy and is not older than 1 year at the time of impression taking and was taken with 0.3 voxel mm or 0.2 voxel mm
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Age under 18 years • not fully dentulous in the upper jaw • periodontal diseases • medication with gingival hyperplasia as a possible secondary effect • previous surgical intervention in the palatal region
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To answer the current questions of the relationship between palatal soft tissue thickness and modern imaging capabilities in dentistry. A three-dimensional evaluation method will be used to measure the area of the soft tissue in order to be able to make a statement about the volume and local distribution of the best graft donor sites. | — |
