Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Cross Bite
Interventions
Device: Rapid Expansion of palatal suture
Registration Number
NCT03258411
Lead Sponsor
King Abdulaziz University
Brief Summary

Evaluating and comparing the short term effects of different palatal expanders on the amount of palatal expansion and buccal tipping of posterior teeth.

Hypothesis:

H0: There is no difference in the short term effects between the different palatal expanders.

H1: There is a significant difference in the short term effects between the different palatal expanders.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Amount of skeletal and dental expansion3 months

These are linear measurements which will be measured in millimetres in the first and the second cone beam computed tomography images and the difference will be calculated.

Amount of dental inclination3 months

These are angular measurements which will be measured in degrees in the first and the second cone beam computed tomography images and the difference will be calculated.
