The effect of heavy orthopedic forces on the sutures of the facial bones.

The effect of heavy continuous orthopedic forces was studied in three Saimiri Sciureus (squirrel) monkeys. Two additional monkeys served as controls. The maxillary sutures were investigated microscopically. In addition, the bone markers (tetracycline, Procion Red H-8 BS) served for quantitative evaluation under ultraviolet light. After two weeks slight remodeling activity could be observed. After one month a tremendous activity was found in the sutures. The width of the sutures was two to three times enlarged. The regular tissue pattern of the sutures had changed to a mixture of precollagen and collagen fibers running in all directions with plenty of active cells. In the ultraviolet light there is a take up of markers at the sutural margins. After three months of treatment though, the sutures showed a similar pattern. The three zones of the sutures began to form again; osteoblasts were attached to the sutural margins and reorganization was relatively complete.

Skeletal maturity in Austrian children assessed by the GP and the TW-2 methods.

Skeletal maturity was assessed in 637 Austrian children from 7 to 16 years of age. The Greulich - Pyle and the Tanner- Whitehouse -2 ( RUS and TW 20-bone) methods were used. The GP ages showed some major deviations at and after puberty, especially in boys. The RUS and 20-bone ages conformed more closely to the standards although a general advancement in RUS ages was seen in girls after the age of 10 1/2. A similar pattern in RUS ages has been reported for other populations and may indicate a secular trend.
