[Pathological and histological changes in the gingival mucosa under the action of denture bases with and without palatal scraping]. 1975

D Windecker, and C Rotter

Histological examination showed that denture bases with palatal scraping ("Frankfurt Radierung") do not strain the palatal mucosa any more than is the case with any other palate-covering denture. If the irritation produced by the dental replacement is within the tolerance limits of the palatal mucosa, there will be no pathological changes in epithelium and submucosa in the area of the scraping borders. If the load put on the denture exceeds the tolerance level of the palatal mucosa, so that a denture stomatopathy is resulting, the changes observable in the entire palatal mucosa are also found in the areas where the scrapinb borders are located.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009061	Mouth Mucosa	Lining of the ORAL CAVITY, including mucosa on the GUMS; the PALATE; the LIP; the CHEEK; floor of the mouth; and other structures. The mucosa is generally a nonkeratinized stratified squamous EPITHELIUM covering muscle, bone, or glands but can show varying degree of keratinization at specific locations.

D010159	Palate	The structure that forms the roof of the mouth. It consists of the anterior hard palate (PALATE, HARD) and the posterior soft palate (PALATE, SOFT).	Incisive Papilla,Incisive Papillas,Palates,Papilla, Incisive,Papillas, Incisive
D003819	Denture Bases	The part of a denture that overlies the soft tissue and supports the supplied teeth and is supported in turn by abutment teeth or the residual alveolar ridge. It is usually made of resins or metal or their combination.	Base, Denture,Bases, Denture,Denture Base
