Objective: To identify and qualify the scientific evidence on the immediate and long-term
effects of rapid maxillary expansion on the midpalatal suture in growing teenage or young …

Assessment of midpalatal suture maturation is crucial before deciding which type of
maxillary expansion technique will be performed to treat transverse discrepancies. In 2013 …

Introduction In this study, we present a novel classification method for individual assessment
of midpalatal suture morphology. Methods Cone-beam computed tomography images from …

Objective: To evaluate the immediate effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the
transverse skeletal and dentoalveolar changes with bone-borne (C-expander) and tooth …

Introduction The aim of this study was to analyze the diagnostic performance of the cervical
vertebral maturation (CVM) method in estimating accurately the stages of maturation of the …

Objectives To evaluate whether the success of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion
(MARPE), performed in patients with advanced bone maturation is related to factors such as …

The aim of this study was to evaluate midpalatal suture maturation in adults, as observed in
cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. CBCT scans from 78 subjects (64 female …

Objective We sought to determine the predictors of midpalatal suture expansion by
miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in young adults. Methods The …

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) primarily involves the mechanical opening of the
midpalatal suture of the maxillary and palatine bones. The fusion of the midpalatal suture …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the midpalatal suture maturation stages in
adolescents and young adults using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods …
