It is generally agreed that growth in palatine results from bone formation at the
palatine sutures and lengthening of the alveolar processes, but the extent to which these
two sites contribute to the depth and length of the hard palate remains unso
lved. Hence,
professionals should use quantitative assessments of the hard palate, which allow more
accuracy in the diagnosis and assessment of this structure.
Aim investigating the relationship between the length and depth of the skeletal hard
palatine with facial growth type in adult subjects using CBCT scan.
