Features of the structure of the palatine suture and interalveolar septum in occlusal relationship disorders in children with diastema

Aim. To study the radiographic characteristics of the construction of the anterior area of the palatal suture and the tops of the interalveolar septum between the central incisors in children with thick locations, diastems of the central incisors. Materials and methods. The construction of the palatine suture in 63 children in 6-14 years old without diastema, addressed on the cause of caries, its complications and defect crown incisor, was accepted for rate (I group). 75 children of the same age with full dentition and diastema formed the 2nd group. Condition of palatal suture after orthodontic treatment was studied in 60 children aged 6-12 years with diastema of 1,8-5,2 mm. Results. At the time of removable bite, the palatal suture was wider in children with diastema than in the general population, which is probably related to its delayed and insufficient ossification. However, the width of the diastema did not depend on the width of the suture. Conclusion. In rate and under diastema the interalveolar septum can have a jagged, smooth and cratered shape.
