The healing indices devised for gingival and periodontal tissues cannot be applied to palatal healing due to the differences in clinical and histological aspects. Therefore, a new index to monitor the healing response specifically for the soft tissues in the palate has been proposed. This maybe particularly useful in cleft palate repair and other procedures performed over the palatal tissues.
