The effect of skeletal and dental expansion according to the presence or absence of miniscrews in the treatment of palatal expansio

- KCT0006871

- Yonsei University Health System, Dental Hospital
- Brief Summary
Both RPE and MARPE groups exhibited significant triangular basal bone expansion and skeletal relapse during consolidation. Under identical amounts of expansion, the MARPE group showed lower decrease in the skeletal, dentoalveolar and periodontal variables after consolidation. The reinforcement of RPE with miniscrews contributes to the maintenance of the basal bone during consolidation period. This evidence can help clinicians decide the appliance design for maxillary expansion, while preventing periodontal side effects, such as buccal bone dehiscence
