Palatal areas on finite element models. a, c, e palatal vault area (in color) of 0, 12, and 22-month palates, respectively. b, d, f Tektal wall areas of 0, 12, and 22-month palates, respectively. Example contact area contours of maximum principal stress on 12-month palate: g, size 3 TB pacifier (t = 0.79 s)-three areas of contact; h, size 3 S pacifier (t = 0.91 s)-one area of contact; and i, size 1 TB (t = 0.91 s)-one large area of contact in the TW. Pacifiers are translucent
