Abstract:Objectives:
This study used computed tomography (CT) to compare the bone thickness and density values around the zygomaticomaxillary, zygomaticotemporal, and pterygomaxillary sutures that are resistant to rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment according to age, sex, and cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM) stage.
Methods:
The study included 200 paranasal sinus records obtained for medical diagnosis and examination in a radiology clinic. The records pr… Show more
