Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of the location of vibrating line with respect to fovea palatini in different soft palate types among patients.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Khyber College of dentistry, Peshawar, Pakistan. 121 subjects were included in this study. Clinical examination was carried out to examine the location of vibrating line whether it is anterior, posterior or at the fovea palatini in different soft palate types.

Results: Our study result shows that in 57(47.11%) subjects vibrating line was in front, in 63(52.06%) subjects it was at and in 1(0.83%) subject it was behind the fovea palatini. Eighty five (70.25%) patients had Class I, 29 (23.97%) patients had Class II and 7 (5.78%) patients had Class III soft palatal types.
