Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of rapid maxillary expansion with and without microosteoperforation in patients with skeletal maxillary constriction.Theoretically, the force generated by the activation of the Hyrax expander leads initially to the compression of the periodontal ligament, bending of the alveolar bone, and tipping of the anchor teeth. This in turn contributes to the unfavorable changes in the supporting tissues; such as root resorption, buccal crown tipping, reduction of buccal bone thickness, marginal bone loss and alveolar bone fenestration and dehiscence. In this trial, it is assumed that by reducing the cortical bone resistance, using micro-osteoperforation (MOP), the alveolar bone bending and buccal tipping that usually occur during expansion will be reduced and thus facilitating the bone expansion.

Conditions

  • Posterior Crossbite

Interventions

DEVICE

tooth borne hyrax expander

ready made four stainless steel bands will be supported on the first premolars and first permanent molars and to which the palatal expander will be soldered to form the Hyrax,.The appliance will be activated one quarter turn per day untill reaching maximum amount of lateral expansion of the jack screw. the patients will be recalled twice per week to evaluate the progress of treatment.

PROCEDURE

microosteoperforation

ready made four stainless steel bands supported on the first premolars and first permanent molars and to which the palatal expander will be soldered to form the Hyrax.No activation will be provided to the hyrax expander before the micro-osteoperforation is performed. Microosteoperforation will applied bilaterally on the buccal surface between the roots of teeth at the level of mucoginival junction, starting from the distal of canine till the distal of the first permanent molar using a small sized surgical bur mounted on a hand piece .
