Evaluation of midpalatal suture maturation stage in 5- to 20-year-olds using cone-beam computed tomography

This study aimed to evaluate the midpalatal suture (MPS) maturation stages using the cone-beam computed tomography classification method in Chinese children aged 5-10 years, adolescents aged 11-15 years, and postadolescents aged 16-20 years and identify a correlation between maturation stage and age and sex.
