title: [Histological aspects of the sagittal intermaxillary suture at different stages of development].
abstract: The Authors examined the histological structure of the midpalatal suture in seven individuals: two of the cases were foetuses, the others were children at the age of one day to two years. In the embryos and in the newborn children the suture was observed to be rather large and straight, while its width decreased with age. Moreover, no change in direction was observed, and the osteoblasts decreased in number.
