Palatal masticatory mucosa thickness measured by high-resolution, non-contrast enhanced dental MRI is comparable with that obtained by bone sounding. Dental MRI enables reliable, non-invasive and radiation-free planning of palatal tissue harvesting and can also be used for location of the GPA at 85% of measurement points, which might help reduce complications during surgery.
