Clinical Trial: Miniscrew-assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion With and Without Corticopuncture
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Palatal Expansion Technique
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Assessment of Miniscrew-assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion With and Without Corticopuncture in Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief Summary:
Rapid palatal expansion aims at skeletally correcting the transverse maxillary deficiency by applying forces to separate the mid-palatal suture.In adult patients, the separation of the mid-palatal suture may not be possible due to its increased interdigitation.Miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE) was proposed to transmit the forces directly to the mid-palatal suture through palatal miniscrews in addition to the anchor teeth.However, some non-growing patients may not respond favorably to…
