“…The greater degree of palatal length sex differences may be due, in part, to the large canine/sectorial P3 apparatus in male Macaca nemestrina. Growth centers located in the maxillary tuberosity and premaxilla apparently account for most forward growth of the macaque splanchnocranium (MooRE, 1949;BAUUE, 1951;CRAVEN, 1956). In this study, palatal length variables which demonstrate pronounced sex differences such as variables 018 (I1--M 2) and 019 (P--M 3) contain one or both of these primary growth centers.…”

ABSTRACT. A longitudinal study of the palatal growth of 80 male and 81 female Macaca nemestrina reveals that male growth rates are greater than female growth rates. In addition, both sexes demonstrate a similar pattern of palatal growth although growth rate differences between sexes probably reflect the larger canine/Pa apparatus and overall body size of males. Growth of the premaxillary and postmaxillary palatal segments appear to be independent of one another. Palatal growth spurts, obvious in males, exist for two palatal length dimensions. The maxillary tuberosity growth center is postulated to account for more size dimorphism between sexes than the premaxilla growth center.

“…If expansive growth was the only growth mechanism, the reduced dimensions may just be due to loss of growth in the time passed from the operation to the moment when the palated shelves met again in the mid-line ensuring re-establishment of an expansive mode of growth. Based on the imperfect regeneration of the mid-palatal suture, and therefore probably more credible, is the view in parts theorized by Sitsen (1933) and Craven (1956) suggesting an influence on sutural growth also from the environment.…”

Transversal Maxillary Growth in Experimental Submucous Mid-Palatal Clefts: A Roentgen-Cephalometric Study in the Cat

At the average age of 2 1/2 months the mid-palatal suture and adjacent bone was extirpated in 24 domestic cats resulting in a 5 mm wide submucous cleft in the hard palate. In 16 other animals the corresponding mucoperiosteal flap was elevated and replaced without resection of the suture, i.e. testing the effect of the soft resection of the suture, i.e. testing the effect of the soft tissue trauma implied. Twenty-eight unoperated cats of corresponding age served as controls. The transversal maxillary growth was then studied radiographically by measuring the increase in distance, on cephalograms, between metallic implants inserted into both sides of the hard palate. Up to 50% reduction of transversal growth appeared where the mid-palatal suture had been extirpated. The palatal dimensions of the sham operated- and the unoperated groups did not diverge. The results obtained seem to indicate that growth in the mid-palatal suture is a combination of active growth due to proliferation of the sutural tissue, and passive growth induced by external forces exerting a traction in lateral direction.

“…Palatine length increases primarily by growth along the palatine side of the transverse palatine suture. Elongation may also take place through appositional growth along the posterior border of the palatine bones (work in progress) although there is some evidence that this may not be the case (CRAVEN, 1956;ENLOW, 1982). Expansion of palatine length seems to take place fairly gradually with the apparent exception of a period of rapid growth in the males that coincides with eruption of the third molars and the onset of puberty.…”

Palatal growth in baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis)

ABSTRACT. In this study the structure and development of the palate as observed in a cross-sectional collection of olive baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis) skulls are described and analyzed using craniometric techniques. Considered are structural functional relationships among different parts of the palate, and between the palate and other parts of the craniofacial skeleton. Several inferences are drawn and speculated upon. These inferences are as follows: odontogenesis affects premaxillary growth the most during late fetal and early postnatal development; maxillary length is significantly affected by development and eruption of the maxillary dentition, whereas maxillary breadth is less affected by dental development. Growth of the palatine bones and nasopharyngeal airway is correlated with dentomasticatory changes; the developmental and functional significance of these correlations is unclear. Further inferences are that growth rates for each palatal component differ for each sex even though lengths of the components relative to total palatal dimensions show no sexual dimorphism. Also, it is determined that maxillary length remains constant, premaxillary length reduces and palatine length increases relative to total palatal length with growth.
