Abstract
Among the malocclusions that affect the craniofacial complex, there is an alteration
in the size of the jaw. When compression of the jaw is found, it is important to identify the
appropriate time to perform expansion procedures and achieve success in the treatment. To
decide the type of expansion, it is crucial to know the state of ossification of the midpalatal
suture, which can be identified in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images
(Angelieri and Cevidanes, 2013). These images are not part of the routine examinations sent
to patients, they are 10 times more expensive than commonly sent x-rays and involve greater
radiation. (Jaju and Jaju, 2015)
