Then the effect of different transplanted mucosa on preventing maxillary deformity was investigated and compared.
RESULTSMaxillary development in the three groups was same and no significant differences among them were discovered.
CONCLUSIONBuccal mucosa is effective in serving as reparative tissue for preventing maxillary deformity.
