The postnatal development of the palatomaxillary region studied on human autopsy material

摘要: Greater understanding of the postnatal region maxilla is necessary if normal growth maxillary complex, as well its reaction to orthopedic forces, be comprehended. The area in question was studied at various stages development, both on dry skulls and autopsy material. skull material demonstrated an increasing approximation between palatal bone adjacent bones, pterygoid process. Disarticulation bones possible only representing infantile earliest adolescent periods. Attempted disarticulation later juvenile early periods always accompanied by fracture heavily interdigitated osseous surfaces. complexity articulating surfaces further and, means quantitation bony surfaces, "index complexity" calculated. findings present study that acts a "buffer" two areas differing intrinsic pattern remodeling processes seem reflect different functional demands pharynx complex. rigidity result observed sutural indicates center rotation for spatial changes complex forces could localized palatomaxillary region.
