English term or phrase: vibrating line
Hallo liebe Kollegen!

Ich bin mir hier unsicher, was die dt. Entsprechung ist:

Soft palate is the posterosuperior border of the oral cavity
Margins of the soft palate:
Anteriorly: continuous with the hard palate at the ***vibrating line***
Posterolaterally: it forms the superior portion of the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal folds
Posteriorly: the uvula hangs in the center of the posterior free margin

vi·brat·ing line
the imaginary line across the posterior part of the palate, marking the division between the movable and immovable tissues.

A-Linie / Ah-Linie
Explanation:
A-Linie
auch Ah-Linie, engl.: palatal vibrating line;
die Ansatzlinie des Gaumensegels (befindlich am hinteren Gaumen als Übergang vom harten in den weichen Gaumen) gilt bei Vollprothesen als Anhaltspunkt für die hintere Begrenzung der Gaumenbasis (1 bis 2 mm hinter die A.-L.). Der Name entstammt daher, da diese Linie beim Sprechen eines lang gezogenen "Aah's" bei geöffnetem Mund sichtbar ist.
