  • Title: [A serial histological study on suture expansion osteogenesis for cleft palate closure].
    Author: Liu C, Song R, Song Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Zheng Xing Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2000 Jan; 16(1):43-5. PubMed ID: 11501029.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to know the process of tissue response and regeneration in the palato-maxillary suture under tensile forces. METHODS: Sutural tissue changes after 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 days of suture expansion were examined histologically and fluorescently. RESULTS: It was found that a cyst-like zone appeared in the conjuncture of bony front and sutural connective tissue at the early stage of sutural expansion. Then a great amount of osteoblasts and fibroblasts proliferated. New bone deposited along the septum and the front of the cyst until the new bone front formed and the suture restored its original morphology. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggested that sutural expansion be a process of bone tissue regeneration and fibrous tissue repair.
