Overview

Systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of MARPE on maxillary expansion, suggesting positive outcomes in adolescents and young adults.

Key Points

  • This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of mini-screw assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE) in late adolescents and young adults.
  • Conducted a literature search across five databases from 2010 to July 2025
  • Included 7 studies eligible for analysis based on outcomes related to MARPE
  • Assessed bias and quality of evidence using RoB-2 and ROBINS-1 tools.
  • Included studies reported a high success rate of MARPE (89%-91%)
  • Showed statistically significant changes across skeletal, dento-alveolar, and periodontal outcomes
  • Overall moderate risk of bias and low quality of evidence.
