Study of the Relationship between Obliteration index in Midpalatal Suture and the Maturation of Cervical Vertebrae Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography


Abstract in English

It is difficult to choose between the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted RME (SARME), we aimed to study the relationship between the obliteration index in midpalatal suture and cervical vertebral maturation staging (CVMs).
