Assessment of midpalatal suture maturation is crucial before deciding which type of
maxillary expansion technique will be performed to treat transverse discrepancies. In 2013 …

Purpose In view of the positive outcome of orthodontic treatment using rapid maxillary
expansion (RME) on sleep-disordered breathing, we generated data on RME in children …

Introduction During adolescence, increasing interdigitation of the midpalatal suture
increases resistance to rapid maxillary expansion (RME); this decreases its skeletal effect. In …

Introduction The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the postexpansion positional
changes of the maxillary halves and their initial stability after transpalatal distraction with a …

Objective The goals of this retrospective clinical study were to identify surgically assisted
rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) complications and assess their incidence, with the aim of …

The incorporation of digital technologies in orthodontics, particularly in the area of maxillary
expansion, represents a significant shift in research, diagnostic techniques, treatment …

Methods In the present cross-sectional study, the CBCT images of the maxilla in 144 Iranian
subjects (72 males, 72 females) with an age range of 10 to 70 years, referring to a private …

The aim of this study was to compare the reduced stresses according to Huber's hypothesis
and the displacement pattern in the region of the facial skeleton using a tooth-or bone-borne …

Objective: To conduct a pilot study to investigate the potentiality to determine the midpalatal
sutural width radiographically with a flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) in a …

Objective The twofold aim of the present investigation was to: 1. evaluate the degree of mid-
palatal suture (MPS) maturation via CBCT in relation to patient age, and 2. to determine …
