English term or phrase: roof of the mouth
... films to be placed deep in the floor and roof of the mouth.

Note: Cressy proffers "munbotten" as translation of "floor the mouth". I am looking for a matching translation of "roof of the mouth".

taket i munhålan (gommen)
Explanation:
Taket i munhålan, låter väl lite krystat tycker jag men Colgate använder det i sin information. Gommen är väl mer vedertaget.

Roof of the mouth


Explanation:
Sv. Akademiens Ordlista: gom = tak i munhåla vilket väl gör att det vanliga ordet "gom" kan användas här Om du absolut måste ha med "floor" och "roof" så skulle väl kanske "munhålans botten" och munhålans tak" vara lämpliga uttryck.
