Introduction: Orthodontic anchoring screws (OASs) have been placed around midpalatal sutures in patients of various ages. Our previous study found that OAS placement more than 1.5 mm from midpalatal suture was more successful than placement directly at the suture. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between age and midpalatal suture maturation, considering factors affecting the failure of OASs using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods: In total, 150 patients who underwent cone-beam computed tomography were selected. The total depth and sutured depth of the midpalatal suture corresponding area to anterior (interpremolar zone) and posterior region (mesial and distal borders of the first molar) were measured, and the ratio of sutured depth to total depth (sutured ratio) was calculated. Results: The mean sutured ratios at interpremolar zone and mesial and distal borders of the first molar according to age were 40%, 60%, and 63% in the younger group (≤17 years), 46%, 76%, and 76% in the middle group (18-25 years), and 47%, 74%, and 76% in the older group (≥26 years), respectively. The sutured ratio of the anterior region was significantly lower than that of the posterior region (P <0.01). Each mean sutured ratio of the middle and older group was significantly higher than that of the younger group on both sides (P <0.01). According to the cervical vertebral maturation, the mean sutured ratio of cervical vertebral stages 5-6 was significantly higher than cervical vertebral stages 1-3 on the distal side (P <0.05). Conclusions: Incomplete closure of the midpalatal suture was observed frequently, even in the older group. This might be caused by insufficient calcification of the midpalatal suture, including in elder patients. To prevent OAS placement to the unsutured area, the midpalatal suture should be avoided regardless of age.
