Stability of palatal rugae after orthodontic/orthopaedic expansion: a scoping review
Australasian Orthodontic Journal, 2023 The palatal rugae are connective tissue located in the anterior third of the hard palate and present asymmetrically on each side of the palatine raphe. The stability and individualistic features of the palatal rugae have been suggested as an alternative ...

Suppressing STAT3 activation impairs bone formation during maxillary expansion and relapse [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2023 Objectives The mid-palatal expansion technique is commonly used to correct maxillary constriction in dental clinics. However, there is a tendency for it to relapse, and the key molecules responsible for modulating bone formation remain elusive.

Characteristic changes of the palatal rugae following orthodontic treatment
Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2023 Background Because of the individuality of the palatal rugae, they are applicable for human identification purposes the same as the fingerprints. Therefore, it is important to assess the effect of different factors on rugae characteristics.
