Dynamic activation of Wnt, Fgf, and Hh signaling during soft palate development.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The soft palate is a key component of the oropharyngeal complex that is critical for swallowing, breathing, hearing and speech. However, complete functional restoration in patients with cleft soft palate remains a challenging task.

A Comprehensive Study of Soft Palate Development in Mice.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cleft palate is one of the most common congenital birth defects. Tremendous efforts have been made over the last decades towards understanding hard palate development. However, little is known about soft palate morphogenesis and myogenesis.

A rat model for muscle regeneration in the soft palate. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Children with a cleft in the soft palate have difficulties with speech, swallowing, and sucking. Despite successful surgical repositioning of the muscles, optimal function is often not achieved.

Digital cephalometric analysis illustrating morphological variation of the soft palate

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2015
Introduction and Objectives: The soft palate plays a vital role in velopharyngeal closure which is strongly dependent on a close coordination of the velum and the contiguous pharyngeal structures. It is reasonable to hypothesize that these structures may

Diverse morphologies of soft palate in normal individuals: A cephalometric perspective

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2012
Purpose: Soft palate plays a significant role in various important functions in the head and neck region- Its varied morphology is implicated in variety of diseases. Therefore, it is essential to establish the morphology of soft palate in normal patients

Noggin Overexpression Impairs the Development of Muscles, Tendons, and Aponeurosis in Soft Palates by Disrupting BMP-Smad and Shh-Gli1 Signaling

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The roles of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in palatogenesis were well documented in the developing hard palate; however, little is known about how BMP signaling regulates the development of soft palate. In this study, we overexpressed Noggin

Application of Berlin questionnaire in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome through soft palate morphology types

Journal of Education and Health Promotion, 2022
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by intermittent complete and partial airway collapse, resulting in frequent episodes of apnea and hypopnea. The Berlin questionnaire (BQ) is a simple, inexpensive instrument used

Folded Radial Forearm Free Flap for the Reconstruction of Total Soft Palate Defects: Operative Technique

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023
Background:. The surgical plan to reconstruct the palate must be carefully prepared given the morphological peculiarity of the soft palate forming both the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nasal cavity.

Innervation of human soft palate muscles

The Anatomical Record, 2020
Our objective was to determine the branching and distribution of the motor nerves supplying the human soft palate muscles. Six adult specimens of the soft palate in continuity with the pharynx, larynx, and tongue were processed with Sihler's stain, a ...
