The oral microbiota plays a vital role in the human microbiome and oral health. Imbalances
between microbes and their hosts can lead to oral and systemic disorders such as diabetes …

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 …

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 …

Background Mini-implant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliances have been
developed with the aim to enhance the orthopedic effect induced by rapid maxillary …

Objective: To evaluate the stability of nonsurgical miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary
expansion (MARME) in young adults with a transverse maxillary deficiency. Materials and …

INTRODUCTION: Dental measurements are an integral part of the orthodontic records
necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. In this study, we investigated the …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to use cone-beam computed tomography to
quantitatively evaluate skeletal expansion and alveolar tipping of the maxilla at the maxillary …

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to compare the transverse, vertical, and
anteroposterior skeletal and dental changes in adolescents receiving expansion treatment …

Introduction: The force delivered during rapid maxillary expansion (RME) produces areas of
compression on the periodontal ligament of the supporting teeth. The resulting alveolar …
