Abstract EN
Aim.
To determine the prevalence of type of soft palate in targeted population.
Materials and Methods.
Using computer technology in dentistry, intraoral digital scanner, and 3D analysis software tool, study was conducted.
100 patients selected from the outpatient clinics were divided into two groups based on the ages of 20–40 years and 41–60 years with equal ratio of males and females.
Each selected patient’s maxillary arch was scanned with intraoral scanner; images so obtained were sectioned in anteroposterior cross section and with the 3D analysis software; the angulation between hard and soft palate was determined.
Results.
The prevalence of type II soft palate (angulation between hard and soft palate is between 10 and 45 degrees) was highest, 60% in group 1 and 44% in group 2.
The difference between genders was statistically significant with p value <0.05 in both the groups, although females had higher angulation compared to the males in all classes of both groups.
Conclusions.
In targeted population of Aseer Province, Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of type II soft palate was more common, with higher soft palate angulation among females.
The advanced age had no effect in the type of soft palate in the region.
