Innovative Study Reveals Superior Adult Maxillary Expansion Method

Posted: December 2, 2024
A study compared Mini-implant Assisted Slow Palatal Expansion (MASPE) with rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) using CBCT scans in adults with narrow maxilla. The FCPC-MASPE group showed superior transverse expansion with minimal pterygoid process deformation compared to MARPE. Dental measurements were similar, but the 'M.O.R.E.-factor' favored FCPC-MASPE. Slow expansion with FCPC protocol is effective in widening the maxilla in adults with less skeletal impact and cranial complications.
