Quantitative and Transverse Changes in the Position of Palatal Rugae after Palatal Expansion
Author(s): Alka Banker, Jayasankar P Pillai and Ipsit TrivediAlka Banker, Jayasankar P Pillai and Ipsit Trivedi
Background: Palatal rugae are irregular and non-identical mucosal elevations seen on anterior third of palate. They are arranged in transverse direction on either side of Median Palatine Raphe [MPR]. Though they are the most stable anatomical structures in the oral cavity, certain conditions like orthodontic treatment contribute to some amount of variations in their pattern qualitatively. During literature review, we found scarcity of articles related to quantitative changes in rugae patterns, before and after palatal expansion. The aim of this study was to compare the number of rugae and its positional changes using before and after Semi Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SRME) study models. Materials and Methods: Seventy nine pairs of pre and post expansion casts showing finer details of palatal rugae from 37 male.. View More»
