Trabecular Bone Microarchitecture in the Median Palate and Maxillary Premolar Alveolar Sites of Edentulous Elderly Cadavers

These results have indicated that the anterior median palate is structurally similar to the corresponding maxillary premolar region in elderly edentulous persons. Therefore, it can be used as an implant site to anchor a maxillary overdenture in patients with atrophic maxillary ridges.
