Rapid palatal expansion: a comparison of two appliances.
This study analyzed occlusal radiographs to compare the transverse changes produced in patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion using two types of appliances. The sample consisted of 31 children aged 7 to 10.6 years, of both genders, with posterior cross-bite. Fifteen children were treated with a tooth-borne expander and 16 were treated with a tooth-tissue-borne expander. Occlusal radiog...
متن کاملA comparison of dental and dentoalveolar changes between rapid palatal expansion and nickel-titanium palatal expansion appliances.
A tandem-loop nickel titanium temperature-activated palatal expansion appliance was developed that produces light, continuous pressure on the midpalatal suture and requires little patient cooperation or laboratory work. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the nickel titanium palatal expansion appliance with that of a rapid palatal expansion appliance. The study sample ...
متن کاملMultitomographic evaluation of the dental effects of two different rapid palatal expansion appliances.
Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is widely used in the treatment of transverse maxillary deficiencies. Generally, there are two types of RPE appliances: banded and bonded expanders. The purpose of this prospective study was to compare the dental effects of banded and bonded appliances. The study consisted of 23 patients (13 females and 10 males) with a bilateral maxillary deficiency. Twelve patien...
متن کاملSkeletal changes in vertical and anterior displacement of the maxilla with bonded rapid palatal expansion appliances.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether anterior and inferior displacement of the maxilla seen with rapid palatal expansion when done with a banded rapid palatal expansion appliance is significantly different from an occlusally bonded rapid palatal expansion appliance. It was hypothesized that the bonded appliance would limit unwanted displacement of the maxilla by producing vertical...
