Assessment of the Stability of the Palatal Rugae in a 3D-3D Superimposition Technique Following Slow Maxillary Expansion (SME) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractThe Palatal Rugae are considered a useful human identification marker for both orthodontists and forensic personnel. The principal aim of the present study was to evaluate the stability of palatal rugae with a 3D-3D superimposition procedure following Slow Maxillary Expansion (SME), in order to assess whether they kept their uniqueness and ...

Suppressing STAT3 activation impairs bone formation during maxillary expansion and relapse [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2023 Objectives The mid-palatal expansion technique is commonly used to correct maxillary constriction in dental clinics. However, there is a tendency for it to relapse, and the key molecules responsible for modulating bone formation remain elusive.

Transverse maxillary deficiency: treatment alternatives in face of early skeletal maturation
Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics, 2020 Transverse deficiencies should be a priority in orthodontic treatment, and should be corrected as soon as diagnosed, to restore the correct transverse relationship between maxilla and mandible and, consequently, normal maxillary growth.

Evaluation of the palatal split pattern in surgically rapid maxillary expansion—comparison of two techniques [PDF]
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2016 Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion is performed to correct transverse deficiencies of the maxilla, and it is indicated in specific clinical situations. The literature presents different opinions in several aspects, mainly regarding the effect of disjunction of the pterygoid plates.
