Abstract
Complete closure of the secondary palate must progress through two con-secutive events: the converging movement of the palatal shelves and their subsequent fusion at the line of contact. Each step is indispensable in normal palatal development since, theoretically, a palatal cleft might be the consequence of a failure of either.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
