| Abstract |
To investigate the relationship between the morphological maturation stages of the midpalatal suture and its bone densities. The sample consisted of 91 subjects aged 8-18 years who underwent cone beam computed tomography. All images were examined to classify morphological maturation of the midpalatal suture to five groups according to Angelieri et al. Bone density of the midpalatal suture was measured at the maxillary and palatal regions. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the difference between groups. Bone density of the midpalatal suture was significantly higher in the palatal region in E stage and in the maxillary region in D and E stages. It is concluded that the change in bone density of the midpalatal suture between the morphological maturation stages supports their reliability in clinical application. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 August 2018.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Progress in Orthodontics
#159
of 255 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#249,656
of 341,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Progress in Orthodontics
#5
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 255 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,279 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
