Skeletal orthopedic expansion of maxilla is accepted as a reliable method for the treatment
of transverse maxillar deficiency in growing patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate …

Background Both maxillary protraction and rapid expansion are recommended for patients
with cleft palate and alveolus. The aim of the study is to establish a three-dimensional finite …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the displacement and stress distributions
during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion under different surgical conditions …

Introduction: Our aim in this study was to investigate the stresses in the midface and at the
cranial base during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion, to determine whether …

Materials and Methods: A CT scan of a 20-year-old adult with maxillary constriction and the
posterior bite was utilized for the restructuring of the finite element model. Five different …

Objectives: To evaluate the stress pattern in the craniofacial skeleton in a patient with
unilateral cleft deformity of the secondary palate and alveolus in response to various …

Introduction This paper employs finite element analysis to assess the biomechanical
behavior of surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) with a bone-borne …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of pterygomaxillary
disconnection on the transversal expansion of the maxilla. Study Design Fifteen cadaver …

Transverse discrepancy is an important factor in determining facial esthetics. It has been
shown there is an inverse correlation between the buccal corridor width and the intercanine …

The outcome of surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) can be affected by
pterygomaxillary disjunction (PMD) and the distractor position. In this study, SARPE was …
