Three‐Dimensional Effects of Two Minimally Invasive Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion Techniques

Key Points

This research aims to compare the three-dimensional skeletal effects of two minimally invasive surgical techniques for palatal expansion.
Two minimally invasive surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion techniques were evaluated.
Three-dimensional measurements of skeletal effects were taken after the procedures.
Comparative analyses were conducted on maxillary rotation and anterior asymmetry.
Both techniques produced similar skeletal effects in all three-dimensional axes.
A slight clockwise rotation of the maxilla was observed following both techniques.
Significant anterior asymmetry was noted in one of the techniques, indicating a potential area for further investigation.

Abstract

The two techniques produced similar skeletal effects across all three-dimensional axes. A slight clockwise rotation of the maxilla was observed, consistent with previous reports on conventional surgically assisted maxillary expansion. Anterior asymmetry was significant in G1 and may warrant further investigation. Although some displacement tendencies were observed, current evidence does not indicate a clear advantage of one technique over the other.
