Relationship between maturation indices and morphology of the midpalatal suture obtained using cone-beam computed tomography images

Abstract: ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine whether predicting maturation of the midpalatal suture is possible by classifying its morphology on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and to investigate relationships with other developmental age indices.MethodsThe morphology of the midpalatal suture was assessed by using CBCT images of 99 patients. Axial plane images of the midpalatal suture were classified into five stages according to the classification scheme. To make the assessment more accurat… Show more

“…This was not an aim of the present study because the method was previously validated in the literature. 3,26 Specifically, the individual assessment of midpalatal suture maturation was compared with hand-wrist and cervical vertebrae maturation and showed strong statistical association.…”

“…This means that the CVM method may be used to speculate on the maturation of the midpalatal suture according to its morphology and is a more useful index than either chronological or dental age. 58 Maxillary transverse growth spurt and growth completion, has been shown to follow distance and velocity curves similar to those for body height by implant studies. 10,19 The maturation of the cervical vertebrae, as assessed by the CVM method, has been considered a reliable biological indicator for skeletal maturity.…”

“…Existing studies have discussed treatment outcomes of MARPE in samples described by their chronological age without information on their skeletal or midpalatal suture maturation. It is generally known that chronological age is not a precise index in predicting skeletal maturation 58 and there is tremendous variability in the developmental stages of the midpalatal suture relative to chronological age. 7 While some authors noted fusion of the median palatal suture between ages 15 to 19 years old 19,78,89 , others reported a lack of fusion in this suture at age 32, 89 54, 62 and 71 63 .…”
