The present study evaluates in Papio cynocephalus the effectiveness of varying the amount of nasal septum resected and the age at surgery in an attempt to develop a technique which may have clinical value for the human condition. The analysis of interdental dimensions by graphical techniques demonstrates that a critical age exists at which total septum resection leads to maximum growth arrest of the premaxilla. Comparisons of linear regression curves for operated and control animals confirm these findings and also demonstrate the existence of sexual dimorphism in premaxillary growth rates.
本研究在豚尾狒狒中评估了切除鼻中隔的量以及手术年龄的变化所产生的效果，试图开发一种可能对人类疾病具有临床价值的技术。通过图形技术对齿间尺寸的分析表明，存在一个关键年龄，在此年龄进行全鼻中隔切除会导致上颌前部生长停滞达到最大值。对手术动物和对照动物的线性回归曲线进行比较证实了这些发现，同时也表明上颌前部生长速率存在性别差异。
