Clinical, radiographic, and histologic studies of the fovea palatini indicate that they were positioned 1.31 mm. (mean of 100 subjects) in front of the vibrating line. Radiographically and histologically, the foveae were located in soft tissue covering the hard palate in all specimens. Histologically, complex nerve endings were found just anterior to the foveae and spreading to the soft palate. The findings were related to clinical aspects of complete dentures.
腭小凹的临床、影像学和组织学研究表明，它们位于颤动线前方1.31毫米处（100名受试者的平均值）。在所有标本中，影像学和组织学显示腭小凹位于覆盖硬腭的软组织中。组织学上，在腭小凹前方及延伸至软腭处发现了复杂的神经末梢。这些发现与全口义齿的临床情况相关。
