Clinical InformationClinical
Cleft Palate
congenital fissure of the soft and/or hard palate, due to faulty fusion.Palatal Obturators
appliances that close a cleft or fissure of the palate.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).Palate, Hard
the anteriorly located rigid section of the palate.Palate, Soft
a movable fold suspended from the posterior border of the hard palate. the uvula hangs from the middle of the lower border.Submandibular Gland
one of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. it discharges through the submandibular duct. the secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.
