Effect of skeletal miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion on root resorption, buccal bone thickness and tooth inclination: a retrospective CBCT study
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the effects of skeletal miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion on dental structures.
Retrospective study using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to analyze dental changes.
Assessment focused on root resorption, buccal bone thickness, and tooth inclination post-treatment.
No root resorption was detected in participants receiving bone-borne MARPE.
There were no significant changes in buccal bone thickness.
Most posterior maxillary teeth showed no alterations in inclination.
Abstract
No root resorption was caused by the bone-borne MARPE. No change in buccal bone thickness and inclination of most of the posterior maxillary teeth was found.
