Abstract: Biophysical features of soft tissue are determined by numerous factors. The effect of thickness of soft tissue and elasticity degree is undoubtable. The aim of study was to determine average thickness of soft tissue at foveolae palatinae, taking into account sex dimorphism. Materials included X ray copies of the patients with satisfactory selective criteria as well as biopsy material of cadaver palate. Special measurement equipment was used, indirect antropometric measurements of thickness of soft tissue on X ray copies as well as native hystometry on cadaver were performed. Comparison analysis of sex dimorphism is present using adequate statistical methods. The observed differences in the thickness of soft tissue in both male and female subjects are in accordance with the findings of Niquist (1964) and Josefewicz (1967/68). According to these findings the degree of resilience of prosthetic support in men is the result of greater thickness of their soft tissue.
