Abstract:

Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common skeletal malocclusion that can lead to problems such as dental crowding and posterior crossbite.Skeletal expansion is the primary therapeutic approach for this condition, and the treatment outcome of the commonly used rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is largely dependent on midpalatal suture maturity (MPSM). This article reviews the current qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating MPSM, analyzes the influencing factors of age, sex, skeletal maturity, and anatomical morphology, and explores the research progress and clinical application prospects of artificial intelligence (AI) in MPSM evaluation.

Key words: maxillary transverse deficiency, midpalatal suture maturity, artificial intelligence

摘要:

上颌横向发育不足是常见的骨性错畸形,可引起牙列拥挤、后牙反等问题。骨性扩弓是其主要治疗方式,其中,常用的上颌快速扩弓(rapid maxillary expansion,RME)的治疗效果很大程度上取决于腭中缝成熟度(midpalatal suture maturity,MPSM)。本文回顾了当前评估MPSM的定性与定量方法,分析年龄、性别、骨骼成熟度及解剖形态对其的影响,并探讨了人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)在MPSM评估中的研究进展及临床应用前景。
