Prediction of rapid maxillary expansion by assessing the maturation of the midpalatal suture on cone beam CT Open
Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) primarily involves the mechanical opening of the midpalatal suture of the maxillary and palatine bones. The fusion of the midpalatal suture determines the failure of RME, a common event in late adolescents a…
