Since you are in the dental section, I assume you mean palatine raphe. That is the line or ridge at the roof of your mouth that runs from the back of your palate to behind your front teeth. The ridge is there because your palate formed in two separate pieces and the ridge (or raphe) is where the two joined together.

Definition: The line of union of 2 contiguous, bilaterally symmetrical structures.

What does the palatine raphe do in your mouth?

The palatine raphe is a ridge of tissue that runs along the midline of the hard palate in the mouth. It serves as an attachment point for the muscles and tissues of the palate, contributing to the structural integrity of the oral cavity.
