The bone thickness of the midpalatal suture in adults with different sagittal facial patterns: An exploratory study using cone-beam computed tomography images
Within the limitation of this study, adult patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ normodivergent malocclusion seem to have thinner midpalatal sutures, narrower maxillary base widths, and shorter ANS-PNS lengths than those patients with a skeletal Class Ⅰ relationship. Maxillary base width and PP-IP angle may have a positive correlation with BTMS.
