Quantitative evaluation of midpalatal suture maturation via fractal analysis
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether the results of fractal analysis can be used as criteria for midpalatal suture maturation evaluation. METHODS The study included 131 subjects aged over 18 years of age (range 18.1-53.4 years) who underwent cone-beam computed tomography. Skeletonized images of the midpalatal suture were obtained via image processing software and used ...
متن کاملDensity of the midpalatal suture after RME treatment – a retrospective comparative low-dose CT-study
INTRODUCTION Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a common technique to improve the dental and skeletal transverse width in cases of constricted maxillary arches. Although retention after RME has been widely examined, there is still no clear statement about the minimal retention time in postpubertal patients and many practitioners have retention concepts varying between three and six months. ME...
متن کاملMidpalatal suture maturation: classification method for individual assessment before rapid maxillary expansion.
INTRODUCTION In this study, we present a novel classification method for individual assessment of midpalatal suture morphology. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography images from 140 subjects (ages, 5.6-58.4 years) were examined to define the radiographic stages of midpalatal suture maturation. Five stages of maturation of the midpalatal suture were identified and defined: stage A, straight hi...
متن کاملLaser Strengthens the Repair of the Midpalatal Suture after Rme
LASER STRENGTHENS THE REPAIR OF THE MIDPALATAL SUTURE AFTER RME Widely spread, studied and used, rapid maxillary expansion (RME) became an important ally of orthodontists. Basically, this procedure takes place with an active phase, where the expander is activated, and a passive phase, when the appliance is kept in place until complete restructuring of the expanded suture and formation of bone t...
متن کاملPrediction of rapid maxillary expansion by assessing the maturation of the midpalatal suture on cone beam CT
Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) primarily involves the mechanical opening of the midpalatal suture of the maxillary and palatine bones. The fusion of the midpalatal suture determines the failure of RME, a common event in late adolescents and young adults. Recently, the assessment of the maturation of midpalatal suture as viewed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been introduced. Fiv...
