A pilot study investigates bone thickness in children and adolescents, suggesting further exploration is needed for palatal development.
Within the limitations of the present pilot study, including only 20 3D radiographs, paramedian insertion at the connection line of the first premolars showed comparatively greater bone thickness in this pilot sample. Further research is warranted to better understand how palatal bone thickness matures in relation to sex and age during the growth period.
