Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Maxillary expansion was performed for adult female patients suffering from maxillary constriction with bilateral posterior cross-bite using fixed Quad-helix appliance, for about 8 months. The appliance was delivered and activated at the day of corticotomy and bone graft. The activation was made half-molar unit each side. The patient was scheduled each month to activate the appliance or reactivate if needed. Corticotomy was performed at area of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and first molar. Cone beam computed tomography was performed, before appliance activation and corticotomy, at the end of expansion (8 months) and after finishing orthodontic treatment (average 2.5 years from start of treatment).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Maxillary expansion was performed for adult female patients suffering from maxillary constriction with bilateral posterior cross-bite \& dental arch discrepancy average 12 mm using fixed Quad-helix appliance, for about 8 months. The appliance was delivered and activated at the day of corticotomy and bone graft (demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft). The activation was made half-molar unit each side. The patient was scheduled each month to activate the appliance or reactivate if needed. Corticotomy was performed at area of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and first molar. Cone beam computed tomography was performed at three stages.

T1 (baseline) Before appliance activation and corticotomy. T2 At the end of expansion. (about 8 months of expansion). T3 At the finishing stage of orthodontic treatment (average 2.5 years from start of treatment).

flap with corticotomy and bone allograft

Maxillary expansion with quad helix appliance was applied to posterior teeth with cross bite. Then corticotomy surgical procedure associated with addition of commercially available bone allograft; demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft on the buccal surface of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and 1st molar areas.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

flap with corticotomy and bone allograft

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A maxillary expansion with quad helix appliance was placed on the posterior teeth with cross bite. A Luebke buccal flap was opened in the area of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and first molar with a no. 15 scalpel. Corticotomy procedure was performed using low speed round bur size 3, holes to create a 0.5 mm deep hole penetrating the cortical bone. Multiple holes were performed leaving 1.5 mm distance in between. The defects were covered with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft and the flap was sutured in its original position with 3-0 black silk suture.
