In each subject, soft tissue thickness was measured at 28 sites of the edentulous ridge by a single calibrated examiner. Intra\u2010observer reliability was calculated with Intraclass Correlation Coefficients by measuring 10 subjects twice, after 1 week. Measurements (mm) were taken at the buccal, lingual, and crestal aspects of the ridge with a dedicated ultrasonic scanner. Repeated measures ANOVA and paired t\u2010tests were used to compare the mean buccal, lingual, and crestal soft tissue thicknesses at each site. The Generalized\u00a0Estimating Equations model was used to study the effects of age, sex, and race. Confidence level was set to 95%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mean tissue thickness ranged from 0.96\u00a0 to 1.98\u00a0mm with a mean of 1.63 \u00b1 0.25\u00a0mm. Intraclass Correlation Coefficients were &gt; 0.97. No significant differences between buccal, crestal, and lingual sites were noted for the mandibular arch as well as at 4 sites on the maxillary arch (maxillary right second molar, maxillary right canine, maxillary left first premolar, maxillary left second molar). However, significant differences in soft tissue thickness were noted for all remaining maxillary sites. Race was found to be positively correlated with tissue thickness, with Black individuals showing a significantly greater thickness than White\u00a0individuals at 4 sites (maxillary right first molar, maxillary left canine, mandibular right second premolar, mandibular right first molar). Age was found to be positively correlated with tissue thickness at 4 sites (maxillary left central incisor, maxillary left first molar, maxillary left second molar, mandibular left second premolar) and negatively correlated at 2 sites (mandibular right canine, mandibular right second molar). Female sex was positively (maxillary left second premolar, maxillary left second molar) and negatively (mandibular right canine) correlated, respectively, with tissue thickness at 3 sites. When data for anterior and posterior sites were respectively pooled, tissue thickness was significantly less at anterior sextant lingual and crestal sites, while no difference was seen for buccal sites.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Statistically significant differences for alveolar ridge mucosa thickness were found at several sites in the maxilla and between anterior and posterior sextants for lingual and crestal sites in the maxillary and mandibular arches. Tissue thickness differences were also noted for race with Black individuals showing greater tissue thickness at some sites. Age and sex did not show a clear effect on tissue thickness. Recorded differences in tissue thickness were however small and appear of uncertain clinical significance.<\/jats:p>\n
