Text Appearing Before Image:
the -free ends ofthe alveoli. Notice the symmetrical, deep, round palate that has resultedfrom the operation. Fig. XVIII.—A study of the growth of the palate from infant to adolescence.The cross on both palates is the same size, 18 mm. in length and 20 mm.in width, which are the full dimensions of the infantile palate. The measure-ments on the infantile palate were taken from the anterior palatine canalto the posterior nasal spine, and between the posterior palatine canals.When the cross of the same dimensions is laid on the adult palate, takingthe anterior palatine canal as the fixed point, it will be seen that the crosspiece is at the level of the posterior borders of the second bicuspids, whichis the original position of the posterior palatine canals, and that while thereis a slight lateral and forward growth of the palate, the great part has beenbackward; which was to be expected because it corresponds to the directionof growth of the alveoli of the upper and lower jaws.
