Abstract
:
This stud)! was designed to evaluate the maxillo-facial changes accompanying surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SA-RME) in adults diagnosed as having transverse maxillary deficiency. Eight adults (5females and 3 males) with a mea.~ age of 24 years were treated by surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Successful maxillary expansion was achieved in all cases. The results showed that, maxilla-facial changes, as judged fromfrontal. lateral and submentovertex fephalometric measurements, are mostly restricted to the maxillary region. The most important orthopedic change was a mean increase of 6.0 mm in maxillary width. Follow up 6 months after completion of orthodontic treatment revealed a mean relapse of 8.5%. A slight bite opening was observed during expansion phase of treatment however, it decreased at the end of thefollow up period. The study recommended a retention period of 6 months to allow consolidation of the expanded maxillary halves with new bone formation.
