Stability of surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion with and without retention analyzed by 3-dimensional imaging
Introduction Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is the procedure of choice
for treatment of adults with transverse maxillary deficiency greater than 7 mm. There is no
consensus about the dentoskeletal effect of an orthodontic retainer on the outcome of
SARPE. Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of an orthodontic retainer on
dentoskeletal stability. Methods Ninety digitized dental casts of 30 adults undergoing
SARPE were divided into 2 groups—no retention (n= 15) and retention (n= 15)—and …
