Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Growth is the biological process through which living matter gets enlarged in size and development is the continuous progress from conception to maturation. Growth is usually measured by their physical appearance such as height and weight which are predetermined. Every individual has a different path in growth and development, which are inherited genetically from their parents. The sequence of the development is the same for all children, but the rate of development varies for every individual in the laws of growth. AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the maturation stages of the midpalatal suture based on its morphology, using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in post-adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample comprised of 120 patients, 63 female and 57 male, aged between 15 to 21 years. They had Cone-Beam Computed Tomography images taken using DENSPLY SIRONA ORTHOPHOS XG 3D and were exported and viewed using GALILEOS software, where axial sections were obtained from the midpalatal suture for morphologic evaluation. The examiners interpreted the images to establish the stage of sutural maturation of each patient according to its morphologic characteristics in 5 maturational stages (A, B, C, D, and E) given by Angelieri [et. al.] and Ladewig LM. RESULTS: The maturational stages most often observed in this study were C, D, and E, (81%). In males, stage C was present in 38.2%; for females this prevalence was 40.0%. CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence of stage C in the age group between 15 and 21 years may justify a good prognosis for rapid maxillary expansion in post-adolescents.
