Treatment Effects of Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion in Adolescents Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

This study aimed to analyze the treatment effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion using dental cone-beam computed tomography (CT) in adolescents. The group comprised 20 patients who underwent CT before and after (MARPE). Paired t-test analysis variance were used significant differences treatment. Skeletal dentoalveolar measurements indicated highly differences, with these expansions increasing progressively downward direction. extent anterior midpalatal suture was significantly greater than that posterior part. Significant observed at nasal width inter-zygomaticomaxillary distance.
