To develop a novel technique for localizing and reconstructing the greater palatine artery (GPA) using three-dimensional (3D) technology. A miniaturized intraoral ultrasound transducer was used to imaging landmarks including the GPA, gingival margin (GM), and palatal masticatory mucosa (PMM). A 5-mm...
