Periodontal effects of maxillary expansion in adults using non-surgical expanders with skeletal anchorage vs. surgically assisted maxillary expansion: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Describe and compare harmful periodontal effects as a consequence of maxillary expansion in adult patients with different types of anchorage devices in non-surgical expanders with skeletal anchorage and surgically assisted maxillary expansion.

Materials and methods

An exhaustive search was carried out on the electronic databases PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Cochrane and LILACS. Additionally, journal references and grey literature were searched without any restrictions. After the selection and extraction process; risk of bias was assessed by the ROB-1 Cochrane tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for randomized trials and cohort studies, respectively.

Results

Of 621 studies retrieved from the searches, six were finally included in this review. One of them presented a low risk bias, while five were excellent respective to selection, comparability and outcomes. Results showed that maxillary expansion in adults using non-surgical expanders (bone-borne or tooth-bone-borne with bicortical skeletal anchorage) produce less harmful periodontal effects, such as: alveolar bending with an average range from 0.92° to 2.32°, compared to surgically assisted maxillary expansion (tooth-borne) of 6.4°; dental inclination with an average range from 0.07° to 2.4°, compared to surgically assisted maxillary expansion (tooth-borne) with a range from 2.01° to 5.56°.

Conclusions

Although limited, the current evidence seems to show that the bone-borne or tooth-bone-borne with bicortical skeletal anchorage produces fewer undesirable periodontal effects.

Project description:BackgroundSurgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) with disjunction of the pterygomaxillary suture is a procedure widely used in maxillofacial surgery. However, the pterygomaxillary disjunction (PD) procedure has often been deemed risky. The actual necessity and effectiveness of PD in SARME remain subjects of debate, with some studies suggesting that sufficient expansion can be achieved without it. This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the scientific literature regarding the effects of PD on skeletal and dental changes after SARME.MethodsThe systematic review followed the Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to identify relevant articles published in different databases. The study conducted a comprehensive literature search across seven databases: PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Collaboration Library, and Google Scholar. The selected studies evaluated the effect of the extent of expansion and the stability of SARME with PD, as well as the skeletal and dental changes associated with the treatment. The intervention cohorts within the sampled population chosen for incorporation into our analysis consisted of individuals who underwent SARME accompanied by PD, whereas the control group underwent SARME devoid of PD. Data were combined in a meta-analysis using the Review Manager 5.3.5. (RevMan) program. A systematic search was performed in seven databases (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Collaboration Library, and Google Scholar).ResultsAfter applying the selection criteria, seven articles were included in the systematic review, totaling 291 patients. Five articles were selected for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effects of anterior and posterior dental expansions. After applying the selection criteria, seven articles were included in the systematic review, totaling 291 patients. Five articles were selected for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effects of anterior and posterior dental expansions. Expansion in the previous region was slightly higher in the SARME with PD group compared to the PD-free group (95 % CI: 1.07 to 1.1 mm; p = 0.98). In the posterior region, expansion exceeding 0.11 mm was observed in the SARME with PD group compared to the PD-free group, but without statistical significance (95 % CI: 1.64 to 1.86 mm; p = 0.903).ConclusionSARME combined with PD proves to be an effective surgical procedure for correcting transverse maxillary deficiencies. However, no statistically significant differences were observed when SARME with and without PD was compared, indicating that SARME with PD can be used especially in cases that require expansion in the posterior region of the maxilla.

Project description:BackgroundThis study compared the area and minimal section of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx in cases treated with different methods of microimplant-assisted expansion.MethodsBased on a pilot study to calculate the sample size, 30 patients with transverse maxillary deficiency over 14 years of age were retrospectively selected. These patients had received two different types of microimplant-assisted maxillary expansion treatment (MARPE and BAME). The patient underwent Cone-Beam computed tomography (CBCT) before and after treatment (mean time 1.5 months) with MARPE or BAME and upper airway measurements (volume and minimum cross-sectional area) were taken to assess upper airways changes and compare changes between the groups. A paired sample t-test was performed to evaluate the T0-T1 change of airway measurements obtained with MARPE and BAME, and a student t-test to compare changes in airway measurements between MARPE and BAME.ResultsThis investigation shows a statistically significant increase in total nasopharyngeal airway volume (0.59 ± 1.42 cm3; p < 0.01), total oropharyngeal airway volume (3.83 ± 7.53 cm3; p < 0.01) and minimum oropharyngeal cross-section (53.23 ± 126.46 mm2; p < 0.05) in all cases treated with micro-screw assisted expansion. The minimal cross-sectional area of the oropharynx ((79.12 ± 142.28 mm2; p < 0.05) and hypopharynx (59.87 ± 89.79 mm2; p < 0.05) showed significant changes for cases treated with BAME. As for the comparison between cases treated with MARPE and BAME, no differences in upper airway changes have been observed, except for the minimum cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity, which increases for MARPE (52.05 ± 132.91 mm2) and decreases for BAME (-34.10 ± 90.85 mm2).ConclusionsA significant increase in total area and minimal section at the level of nasopharynx and oropharynx was observed in cases treated with BAME. Regarding the comparison of MARPE and BAME treatments, no differences were found in the total airway volume and minimal section in upper airway except for the minimum cross section of the nasal cavity that increases for MARPE and decreases for BAME.

Project description:In the present case report, we present and discuss the digital workflow involved in the orthodontic/orthognathic combined treatment of a skeletal malocclusion correction in a 17-year-old male patient affected by a skeletal class III, facial asymmetry, sagittal and transversal deficiency of the medium third of the skull, dental crowding, and bilateral cross-bite. The first stage of the treatment involved surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion and occlusal decompensation, using fixed self-ligating appliance. An orthodontic software package (i.e., Dolphin 3D Surgery module) was used to perform virtual treatment objective evaluation by integrating data from cone beam computer tomography acquisition, intraoral scan, and extraoral photographs. The software allowed a comprehensive evaluation of skeletal, dento-alveolar, and soft-tissue disharmonies, qualitative and quantitative simulation of surgical procedure according to skeletal and aesthetic objectives, and, consequently, the treatment of the malocclusion. Using a specific function of the software, the surgical splint was designed according to the pre-programmed skeletal movements, and subsequently, the physical splint was generated with a three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Once a proper occlusal decompensation was reached, a Le Fort I osteotomy of the maxilla and a bilateral sagittal surgical osteotomy of the mandible were executed to restore proper skeletal relations. The whole treatment time was 8 months. The orthodontic/orthognathic combined treatment allowed to correct the skeletal and the dental imbalance, as well as the improvement of facial aesthetics. Accordingly, the treatment objectives planned in the virtual environment were achieved. Virtual planning offers new possibilities for visualizing the relationship between dental arches and surrounding bone and soft structures in a single virtual 3D model, allowing the specialists to simulate different surgical and orthodontic procedures to achieve the best possible result for the patient and providing an accurate and predictable outcome in the treatment of challenging malocclusions.
