Analysis of the Frequency and Correlated Factors of Midpalatal Suture Maturation Stages in Young Adults, Based on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Imaging

| description | Background: The choice of whether to perform a palatal disjunction in constricted maxilla has traditionally been decided based on the age of the patients, although there are gradually increasing references to the fact that this is not a determining factor. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the frequency of the different stages of midpalatal suture maturation in a sample of young adults between 15 and 30 years of age. Other objectives also included analyzing the possible correlation the maturation stages could maintain with sex and age groups. Methods: 142 Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of young adults were performed. The images were divided into four age groups based on age ranges of 15–18, 19–22, 23–26, and 27–30 years. Each group consisted of 26, 41, 39, and 36 patients, respectively, which were classified using Angelieri’s method. In addition, sex and age groups were considered as variables, and the possible correlation of the prevalence of each one, according to age and sex, was studied. Results: the sample was classified into 4.9% stage B; 52.1% stage C; 27.5% stage D; and 15.5% stage E. In addition, no statistically significant correlation between sex and the maturation stages was found, but more advanced stages did appear to be related to the chronological age of the subjects. Conclusions: The frequency of maturational stages where the suture is shown to be consolidated did not appear to be as high as expected; therefore, the idea of rejecting transverse plane treatment in a conventional manner in an out-of-growth patient should be discarded. |
