Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion: A Scoping Review of Influencing Factors, Side Effects, and Soft Tissue Alterations [PDF]
Background: Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has gained attention as an effective alternative to traditional rapid palatal expansion, particularly in adult patients. This scoping review synthesizes recent evidence to assess the clinical

Intercenter comparison of slow and rapid maxillary expansion in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the occlusal changes of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and slow maxillary expansion (SME) in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP), by means of digital dental models.

Immediate skeletal effects of rapid maxillary expansion at midpalatal suture opening with Differential, Hyrax and Haas expanders [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference at the midpalatal suture opening after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) using Expander with Differential Opening (EDO), Hyrax-type and Haas-type expanders ...

Suppressing STAT3 activation impairs bone formation during maxillary expansion and relapse [PDF]
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
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.

Development of artificial neural network model for predicting the rapid maxillary expansion technique in children with cleft lip and palate. [PDF]
AimThe study aimed to determine the mid-palatal suture (MPS) maturation stages and to develop a binary logistic regression model to predict the possibility of surgical or non-surgical rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).MethodsA retrospective case control study was conducted.
