To compare a slow, rapid activation protocol for miniscrew-assisted maxillary expansion in adults.
Fifteen consecutive adult patients underwent miniscrew-assisted slow palatal expansion (MASPE) using a bone borne device. A control group treated with miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) was matched for initial demographic data and expansion need.
No statistically significant differences in bispinal expansion were observed between the MASPE and MARPE groups at the anterior, middle, or posterior levels.
MASPE successfully achieved skeletal expansion of the maxilla in 86.7% of adult patients treated. The expansion pattern and results were comparable to MARPE.
比较成人微型螺钉辅助上颌扩弓的慢速和快速激活方案。
15例连续的成年患者使用骨支持装置接受微型螺钉辅助慢速腭扩展(MASPE)。将接受微型螺钉辅助快速腭扩展(MARPE)治疗的对照组与初始人口统计学数据和扩弓需求进行匹配。
MASPE组和MARPE组在前部、中部或后部水平的双尖牙扩弓方面未观察到统计学上的显著差异。
在接受治疗的成年患者中,86.7%的患者通过MASPE成功实现了上颌骨的骨骼扩展。扩展模式和结果与MARPE相当。
