The mechanical properties of the midpalatal suture and their relationship with anatomical
parameters are relevant for both tissue engineering and clinical treatments, such as in …

The hard palate and mid‐palatal suture are highly important for orthodontic treatment. In
cases of transverse maxillary deficiency, palatal expansion is the treatment of choice. As …

Objective: To conduct a pilot study to investigate the potentiality to determine the midpalatal
sutural width radiographically with a flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) in a …

Katebi N., Kolpakova‐Hart E., Lin CY, Olsen BR The mouse palate and its cellular
responses to midpalatal suture expansion forces Orthod Craniofac Res 2012; 15: 148–158 …

The growth and morphology of craniofacial sutures are thought to reflect their functional
environment. However, little is known about in vivo sutural mechanics. The present study …

The median palatal suture serves as a growth center for the maxilla; inadequate growth at
this site causes malocclusion and dental crowding. However, the pattern formation …

Sutures are greatly involved in both normal craniofacial growth and developmental
anomalies. Having clear parameters for defining their morphology is fundamental to properly …

Maxillary expansion treatment is a commonly used procedure by orthodontists to widen a
patient's upper jaw. As this is typically performed in adolescent patients, the midpalatal …

Background A profound understanding of the evolution and anatomy of the viscero-and
neurocranium is quintessentially important for orthodontists. This particularly alludes to …

Background: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging techniques are the recent
rage in the field of oral diagnostic imaging modality. It is noninvasive, faster and lacks …
