Abstract |
The palatine suture is wider in 6-14-year-old children with diastema than in normal ones; this suture is commonly direct and rarely tortuous. This may be due to its inadequate ossification. The width of the diastema does not depend on the suture width. An acuminate interalveolar septum predominates in normal children, but diastema and the child's age are conducive to its flattening. Orthodontic treatment normalizes the width of the palatine suture and the shape of the interalveolar septum, but in many patients the results are not stable.
