An almost regularly occurring, completely harmless, striped line on the cheek mucosa, which extends from the canine to the last molar tooth at the level of the occlusal plane of the teeth. If it is more pronounced it is palpable. Under psychological stress, an accentuated, as "swollen" hem line can appear. Transitions to the morsicatio buccarum can exist.
