Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Histologically, the oral mucosa is formed by three layers, a surface squamous stratified epithelium, known as the oral epithelium, whose thickness and degree of keratinization depend on the location and functional requirements [1].
Detailed explanation-2: -Masticatory mucosa is the rigid and tough protecting cover of the gingiva and the hard palate, tightly bound by dense connective tissue to the underlying bone. This epithelium is keratinized.
Detailed explanation-3: -A stratified squamous keratinized epithelium is found on surfaces subject to the abrasion that occurs with mastication, e.g., the roof of the mouth (palate) and gums (gingiva).
