Comparison of skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of tooth-and-bone-borne and bone-borne miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion in young adults

Key Points

To compare the skeletal and dental effects of two types of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion in young adults.
Performed rapid palatal expansion using tooth-and-bone-borne (TBB) and bone-borne (BB) systems.
Evaluated midpalatal suture separation success rates in both groups.
Measured skeletal and dental expansion outcomes, focusing on dental inclination.
Both TBB and BB groups achieved similar midpalatal suture separation success rates of approximately 73%.
Skeletal expansion results were comparable between the two expansion techniques.
The TBB group showed significantly greater dental inclination compared to the BB group.

Abstract

Both TBB and BB achieved successful midpalatal suture separation in young adults, with success rates of 73.3% and 73.7%, respectively. Moreover, skeletal expansion outcomes were comparable between the groups. However, dental expansion was greater in the TBB group than in the BB group, with a greater increase in dental inclination.
