摘要颅颌面复合体垂直向变化常由下颌骨在矢状面上的转动代表，使得上颌骨垂直向旋转变化被忽略，从而导致有关研究相对较少。腭平面倾斜度存在性别差异，口腔不良习惯也都对腭平面的角度变化有显著影响。在矫治过程中，上颌骨骨缝分布、患者生长潜力、矫治力的大小方向和相对于上颌骨阻力中心的位置也都有可能是腭平面旋转的潜在影响因素。腭平面的旋转同样也会影响颌面部结构，因此正畸医师在临床治疗计划的制订中也需关注其变化。本文从多方面阐述腭平面倾斜度的影响因素及可能机制，为今后进一步开展腭平面旋转的临床研究提供参考。

abstractsThe vertical changes of thecranialmaxillofacial complex is usually defined by the sagittal rotation of mandible, which however neglects the vertical rotation of the maxilla. Hence the influences of the rotation of the palate plane is underexamined in existing literature. Both sex and oral habits have significant influence on the change of the palatal plane cant. Maxillary sutures' distribution, growth potential, the size and direction of orthodontic force and its position relative to the center of resistance of maxilla may be the potential influencing factors during the treatment. As palate plane rotation also affects maxillofacial structures, changes of its inclination should also be considered when formulating clinical treatment plans. This review addresses the influencing factors and the possible mechanism of palate plane inclination, contributing to further research on palate plane rotation.
