Radiological and Anatomical Evaluation of the Hard Palate in Healthy Adults: A Retrospective Study
In this study, the authors evaluated the hard palate angle, inclination, depth types, and the presence of S-shaped projection in healthy individuals. Due to its complex anatomy and central position within the craniofacial region, the hard palate serves as a key landmark, providing important anatomical and clinical insights. The data obtained may assist especially anatomists, dentists, and anesthetists in understanding normal variations and supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
