Abstract
Rhesus monkeys were used to study the bone and connective tissue response of the palatal sutures after relatively short periods of rapid maxillary expansion. The results indicate that resorption is responsible, in part, for midpalatal suture splitting and, after this, heavy deposition attempts to maintain sutural morphology.Keywords
