Mathematical modeling of palatal suture pattern formation: morphological differences between sagittal and palatal sutures
Abstract The median palatal suture serves as a growth center for the maxilla; inadequate growth at this site causes malocclusion and dental crowding. However, the pattern formation mechanism of palatal sutures is poorly understood compared with that of calvarial sutures such as the sagittal suture....
