the data demonstrated that ( 1 ) the oral gingival and hard palate epithelia produce similar strata cornea with corneocytes ranging from 0.9 to 1.3 micron in thickness and displaying a high degree of conformity with respect to the keratin pattern , ( 2 ) the normal keratin pattern expressed in oral corneocytes differs from that reported for epidermal corneocytes , ( 3 ) under conditions of metaplastic keratosis , the strata cornea of lesions developing in the mucosa of the cheek and floor of the mouth are of variable thickness with 15 to 30 layers of corneocytes displaying either the oral or , more often , the epidermal keratin pattern .
