Abstrakt: The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the three-dimensional geometry of dental casts and in vivo measurements of the hard palate using a pulsed inductive magnetic coil sensing/digitization device connected to an IBM PC/AT. A specially constructed palatal tracing wand, parallel port interface, and software were developed data acquisition along with 3-D database software for real time projection. Comparisons of 3-D palatal morphology will be presented. Results will be discussed in light of current anthropomorphic information on palatal shape and speech production models.
