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 high-density sutural line, with no or little interdigitation; stage B, scalloped appearance of the high-density sutural line; stage C, 2 parallel, scalloped, high-density lines that were close to each other, separated in some areas by small low-density spaces; stage D, fusion completed in the palatine bone, with no evidence of a suture; and stage E, fusion anteriorly in the maxilla. Intraexaminer and interexaminer agreements were evaluated by weighted kappa tests. Results Stages A and B typically were observed up to 13 years of age, whereas stage C was noted primarily from 11 to 17 years but occasionally in younger and older age groups. Fusion of the palatine (stage D) and maxillary (stage E) regions of the midpalatal suture was completed after 11 years only in girls. From 14 to 17 years, 3 of 13 (23%) boys showed fusion only in the palatine bone (stage D). Conclusions This new classification method has the potential to avoid the side effects of rapid maxillary expansion failure or unnecessary surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion for late adolescents and young adults.

“…The midpalatal suture has been described as an end-to-end type of suture 16,17 with characteristic changes in its morphology during growth. 8,9,11-13,15,16 In the infantile period, Melsen 12 reported that the midpalatal suture is broad and Y-shaped in its frontal sections. 16,18 …”

Objective: To conduct a pilot study to investigate the potentiality to determine the midpalatal sutural width radiographically with a flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) in a porcine model. Materials and Methods: Bone samples from the midpalatal suture of five young (16 weeks) and five old (200 weeks) sus scrofa domestica were gathered. The midpalatal suture width was measured via fpVCT and compared to respective histological preparations. Results with P , .05 were considered significant.

“…Travma hastalarında yaygın olarak kullanılan BT'ye göre radyasyon dozu düşük olan KIBT'de daha küçük ve izotropik vokseller kullanılır. Bu yüzden, maksillofasiyal bölgedeki sert dokuların değerlendirilmesinde KIBT'nin, BT'ye göre daha üstün olduğu gösterilmiştir [17][18][19][20] . Bununla birlikte, maksillofasiyal fraktürlerde KIBT kullanımının bazı sınırlılıkları vardır.…”
