CLINICAL AND X RAY CHARACTISITICS OF MAXILARY CONSTRICTION PATIENTS TREATED WITH RAPID MAXILLARY EXPANSION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Determined the clinical and X ray characteristics of maxillary constriction patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional. Recorded clinical features and measurements on CBCT film before treatment of 30 patients. Results: The mean age of the patients was 11.55 ± 2.18. There was no statistically significant difference between the upper and lower dental arch widths when measured on plaster model and CBCT film. The ossification's degrees of the midpalatal suture were in stage A, B or C. The width of the upper dental arch was narrower than lower dental arch - 3.51 mm (intermolar) and - 2.21 mm (interpremolar); the maxillary width at the first molar was smaller the mandibular width 2,68 ± 1,81mm according to the Yonsei index Conclusion: the age of maxillary contriction patients treating with rapid maxillary expansion are in growing stages, the ossification's degrees of the midpalatal suture are incomplete closed stage, the maxillary is narrower than mandible when measure on plaster model and CBCT film.
