Sagittal airway changes: rapid palatal expansion versus Le Fort I osteotomy during maxillary protraction.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate upper airway changes related to craniofacial changes induced by a facemask (FM) combined with Le Fort I osteotomy without down-fracture in Class III maxillary retrusion subjects (group 1) when compared with a similar group of subjects treated with traditional rapid palatal expansion and FM therapy. Pre- (T1) and post- (T2) protraction cephalometr...

neurosensory changes of palatal mucousa following le fort i osteotomy

background : this study evaluated the sensation of palatal ucosa before and after le fort i osteotomy and compared it based on whether greater palatine nerve has been dissected or not. methods : sixteen patients were studied within one week before  urgery and then one week, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. four tests including sharp-blunt discrimination, cold perception, pin prick ...

Salvage rapid maxillary expansion for the relapse of maxillary transverse expansion after Le Fort I with parasagittal osteotomy

Maxillary transverse deficiency is one of the most common deformities among occlusal discrepancies. Typical surgical methods are segmental Le Fort I osteotomy and surgically-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). This patient underwent a parasagittal split with a Le Fort I osteotomy to correct transverse maxillary deficiency. During follow-up, early transverse relapse occurred and rapid ma...
