Abstract

The purpose of this cone-beam CT (CBCT) based study was to investigate the stages of palatal suture at different age groups as well as the bone density of the palatal suture in a south Chinese population. The CBCT data of 113 patients with an age range from 4 to 36 years old were selected. All of them were reported to have normal growth. CBCT image data were selected in accordance with the inclusion criteria. By using Angelieri method, the palate was divided into 5 groups, and Chad Evans Larson bone density ratio was calculated for each patient. One-way ANOVA and LSD analysis were used to evaluate the average bone density ratio of the mid-palatal at each age stage as well as the mean value of palatal suture bone density at different stages with SPSS 22.0 software package. By comparing the density ratio of mid-palatal suture for each age group, no significant difference was noticed for the same stage regardless of the age (stage B, C and D) (P>0.05), significant difference was noticed between C and D(P<0.05),no significant difference was noticed for the suture density between group A and B as well as group C and D (P>0.05), significant difference was found for the suture density between A/C, A/D, A/E, B/C, B/D, B/E, C/D, and C/E...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
