digital cast

Three-dimensional evaluation on digital casts of maxillary palatal size and morphology in patients with functional posterior crossbite

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Some authors have recently postulated the possibility of a unilateral contraction of the palate in patients with crossbite. This study aimed to investigate palatal dimension size and morphology in subjects with functional posterior crossbite and to localize location of the contraction through a 3D analysis procedure.
