Hyperkeratinized tissue is also associated with the heat from smoking or hot fluids on the hard palate in the form of nicotinic stomatitis.
This forms what is known as the roof of the mouth, or the hard palate.
Once emerging from the greater palatine foramen, it changes names to the greater palatine artery and begins to supply the hard palate.
