Abstract
This was a study of the effect of pressure on the histology
and rate of bone formation via oxytetracycline uptake of the median
palatine suture in five nine-month-old to one-year-old experimental
cats.
Pressure was applied to the median palatine suture of the
experimental cats via a fixed appliance which consisted of an
O.I.S. fan-type expansion screw, which rested above the palatal
mucosa, and four soldered arms, two per side, which extended
from the expansion screw laterally along the palatal mucosa through
the embrasure distal to the canine and onto the buccal surface of
the maxilla. By drilling four holes in the buccal surface of
the maxilla for the four arms of the appliance, stabilization was
achieved. The appliance was activated by closing the screw which
had been opened prior to appliance fabrication. [TRUNCATED]
