Diagnostic casts were made of the palates of 123 patients who had complete dentures. Categorization of all cross-arch palatal forms yielded a distribution in which 93% showed some variation of a U-shaped palatal form, be it angular or mildly curved. Along the midline, 12% had steep anterior inclines, curved midpalatal regions, and curved posterior palates; 69% had moderate anterior inclinations, curved midpalates, and curved posterior palates; 12% had palates that were moderately inclined anteriorly, flat in the midpalatal section, and flat posteriorly. The remaining palates were predominantly flat in two of the three regions measured.
为123名佩戴全口义齿的患者制取了腭部诊断模型。对所有跨弓腭部形态进行分类后发现，93%呈现出某种U形腭部形态的变体，无论是有角的还是轻度弯曲的。沿着中线，12%的患者腭前部倾斜陡峭，腭中部弯曲，腭后部弯曲；69%的患者腭前部倾斜适中，腭中部弯曲，腭后部弯曲；12%的患者腭前部适度向前倾斜，腭中部平坦，腭后部平坦。其余腭部在测量的三个区域中的两个区域主要是平坦的。
