Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of bimaxillary surgery involving bilateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy performed with or without presurgical miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in adult patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Methods: A total of 40 adult patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion were retrospectively divided into two groups (n = 20 each) according to the use of MARPE for the correction of transverse maxillomandibular discrepancy during presurgical orthodontic treatment. Serial lateral cephalograms and dental casts were analyzed until 6 months after surgery. Results: Before presurgical orthodontic treatment, there was no significant differences in terms of sex and age between groups. However, the difference of approximately 3.1 mm in the maxillomandibular intermolar width was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Two days after surgery, the mandible had moved backward and upward without any significant intergroup difference. Six months after surgery, the maxillary intercanine (2.7 ± 2.1 mm), interpremolar (3.6 ± 2.4 mm), and intermolar (2.0 ± 1.3 mm) arch widths were significantly increased (p < 0.001) relative to the values before presurgical orthodontic treatment in the MARPE group; these widths were maintained or decreased in the control group. However, there was no significant difference in surgical changes and the postsurgical stability between the two groups. No significant correlations existed between the amount of maxillary expansion and postsurgical mandibular movement. Conclusions: MARPE is useful for stable and nonsurgical expansion of the maxilla in adult patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion who are scheduled for bimaxillary surgery.

Objective: To evaluate and compare a series of volume changes in the nasal cavity (NC), nasopharynx, oropharynx, and maxillary sinuses (MS) in growing Class III patients after either rapid palatal expansion (RPE) or alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) followed by facemask (FM) therapy, by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Forty growing Class III patients were retrospectively selected and divided into two matched groups: RPE/FM (14 females, 6 males; mean age, 9.66 ± 1.23 years) and Alt-RAMEC/FM groups (14 females, 6 males; mean age, 10.28 ± 1.45 years). The anteroposterior and vertical displacements of Point A, the volumes of the NC, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and MS were measured at different time points: pretreatment (T1), postexpansion (T2), and postprotraction (T3). Results: Both groups demonstrated significant maxilla advancement (by 1.3 mm) during expansion, with a statistically significant intergroup difference during protraction (RPE/FM, 1.1 mm; Alt-RAMEC/FM, 2.4 mm; p < 0.05) and throughout the treatment (RPE/FM, 2.4 mm; Alt-RAMEC/FM, 3.7 mm; p < 0.05). NC and nasopharyngeal airway volumes increased significantly in both groups after expansion, protraction, and treatment. The oropharyngeal and MS volumes increased in both groups after protraction and post-treatment. However, no volumetric differences were observed between the two groups. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in airway volume changes, including NC, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal airway, and MS, between RPE/FM and Alt-RAMEC/FM groups at different time points. Although there was significantly more forward movement after protraction in the Alt-RAMEC/FM group, the difference was deemed too small to be clinically relevant.

이 연구는 성장중인 유성견의 정중구개봉합 급속확대후 봉합부 골조직의 치유 및 골개조과정에 미치는 불화나트륨의 효과를 관찰하기 위하여 시행되었다. 생후 6개월된 유성견 18마리를 이용하여 10일간($180^{\circ}$ turn/day), 5mm의 정중구개봉합 급속확대를 시행하였고, 한군당6마리씩 배정하여 각각0, 15, 45일간 보정하였다. 각 6마리중3 마리는 실험군으로, 확대 시작일로부터 희생 직전까지 불화나트륨(1mg sodium fluoride(NaF)/Kg of body weight/day)을 경구 투여하였다. 불화나트륨을 투여하지 않은 나머지 3마리는 대조군으로 사용하였다. 혈청내 fluoride, calcium, phosphate 그리고 alkaline phosphatase 농도 변화에 대한 biochemical analysis를 시행하였고, 희생후 적출한 상악골은 비탈회 조직편을 제작한 후, $10{\mu}m$의 두께로 coronal section하여 Goldner's modified Masson trichrome법으로 염색하고 광학 현미경하에서 검경하였다. 확대 직후, 실험군과 대조군 토두에서 벌어진 봉합 간극은 염증 세포가 침윤된 fibrous connective tissue로 채워져 있었다. 신생골의 형성이 대조군에 비하여 실험군에서 현저하였으며 봉합부 양측 골단은 활성화된 조골세포와 신생골양조직으로 피개되어 있었다. 15일 보정군의 경우, 실험군에서는 계속적으로 봉합부 양 골단에서 골양조직과 활성화된 조골세포로 피복된 신생골 형성이 활발하였다. 그러나 대조군의 경우 신생골의 형성이 일부 관찰되었으나 실험군에 비하여 매우 저조하였다. 45일 보정군에서,대조군의 경우는 활성화된 조골세포를 거의 찾을 수 없었고, 봉합부 주위에서 다수의 파골세포가 관찰된 반면, 실험군에서는 계속적으로 조골세포의 활성이 유지되었고 골양조직의 형성도 활발하였다. 혈청내 alkaline phosphatase농도는 대조군의 경우 시간 경과에 따라 급속하게 저하된 반면, 실험군에서는 45일 보정군에서까지 계속적으로 확대 후에 높은 농도를 유지하였다. 이상의 결과에서, 불화나트륨은 정중구개봉합 급속확대 후 치유 과정에 있어서 조골세포의 활성과 골양조직의 형성을 보다 지속적으로 촉진시킴으로써 봉합부 골조직의 치유 및 재생과정에 유효한 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term stability of rapid palatal expansion (RPE) followed by full fixed edgewise appliances. Methods: This study included 67 patients treated using Haas-type RPE and non-extraction edgewise appliance therapy at a single orthodontic practice. Serial dental casts were obtained at three different time points: pretreatment ($T_1$), after expansion and fixed appliance therapy ($T_2$), and at long-term recall ($T_3$). The mean duration of the $T_1-T_2$ and $T_2-T_3$ periods was $4.8{\pm}3.5years$ and $11.0{\pm}5.4years$, respectively. The dental casts were digitized, and the computed measurements were compared with untreated reference data. Results: The majority of treatment-related increases in the maxillary and mandibular arch measurements were statistically significant (p < 0.05) and greater than expected for the untreated controls. Although many measurements decreased postretention ($T_2-T_3$), the net gains persisted for all of the measurements evaluated. Conclusions: The use of RPE therapy followed by full fixed edgewise appliances is an effective method for increasing maxillary and mandibular arch width dimensions in growing patients.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) on changes in airflow in the upper airway (UA) of an adult patient with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using computational fluid-structure interaction analysis. Methods: Three-dimensional UA models fabricated from cone beam computed tomography images obtained before (T0) and after (T1) MARPE in an adult patient with OSAS were used for computational fluid dynamics with fluid-structure interaction analysis. Seven and nine cross-sectional planes (interplane distance of 10 mm) in the nasal cavity (NC) and pharynx, respectively, were set along UA. Changes in the cross-sectional area and changes in airflow velocity and pressure, node displacement, and total resistance at maximum inspiration (MI), rest, and maximum expiration (ME) were investigated at each plane after MARPE. Results: The cross-sectional areas at most planes in NC and the upper half of the pharynx were significantly increased at T1. Moreover, airflow velocity decreased in the anterior NC at MI and ME and in the nasopharynx and oropharynx at MI. The decrease in velocity was greater in NC than in the pharynx. The airflow pressure in the anterior NC and entire pharynx exhibited a decrease at T1. The amount of node displacement in NC and the pharynx was insignificant at both T0 and T1. Absolute values for the total resistance at MI, rest, and ME were lower at T1 than at T0. Conclusions: MARPE improves airflow and decreases resistance in UA; therefore, it may be an effective treatment modality for adult patients with moderate OSAS.

급속정중구개확장 후 봉합부에서의 골조직 변화를 관찰하기 위해 유성견 4마리중 1마리는 대조군으로, 3마리는 실험군으로 사용하여 상악골에 급속정중이개장치를 장착한 후 매일 아침, 저녁으로 2회전($180^{\circ}$)씩 활성화시켜 8일간 정중이개를 시킨 직후, 보정 14일후, 보정 28일후에 각각 희생시켜 정중구개봉합부를 절취하여 각각 통법에 따라 H-E 염색, Villanueva 염색, 염기성 인산분해효소 염색, tartrate저항성 산성분해효소 염색을 시행하여 봉합부를 광학현미경으로 관찰하곤 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 정중구개봉합 확장 직후, 교원섬유 다발은 신장되었고 조골세포는 비활성화된 양상으로 소수 관찰되었으며 소수의 골양조직도 관찰되었다. 또한 수평절단 표본에서는 TRAP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 세포가 소수 관찰되었으나 전두절단 표본에서는 구개골의 성장방향에 따라 비강에 인접한 부위에서 TRAP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 파골세포들이 다수 관찰되었다. 2. 정중구개봉합 확장 14일후, 교원섬유다발은 신장되었고 ALP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 조골세포가 소수 관찰되었으며, 수평절단 표본에서는 TRAP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 세포가 거의 관찰되지 않았으나 전두절단 표본에서는 구개골의 성장방향에 따라 비강에 인접한 부위에서 TRAP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 파골세포들이 다수 관찰되었다. 3. 정중구개봉합 확장 28일후, 교원섬유다발은 대조군과 유사한 양상으로 배열되었고 ALP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 조골세포가 다수 관찰되었으며 많은 양의 미성숙골이 형성되었고, 수평절단 표본에서는 TRAP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 세포가 거의 관찰되지 않았으나 전두절단 표본에서는 구개골의 성장방향에 따라 비강에 인접한 부위에서 TRAP 염색에 양성반응을 보이는 파골세포들이 다수 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때, 정중구개봉합부를 급속확장시킨 후 신생골 형성은 보정 14일이 지난 후부터 관찰되기 시작하였으며, 보정 28일이 지난 후에는 신생골형성이 훨씬 왕성하게 진행되었음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Objective: To analyze the microimplant (MI) displacement pattern on treatment with a maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Thirty-nine participants (12 males and 27 females; mean age, 18.2 ± 4.2 years) were treated successfully with the MSE II appliance. Their pre- and post-expansion CBCT data were superimposed. The pre- and post-expansion anterior and posterior inter-MI angles, neck and apical inter-MI distance, plate angle, palatal bone thickness at the MI positions, and suture opening at the MI positions were measured and compared. Results: The jackscrew plate was slightly bent in both anterior and posterior areas. There was no significant difference in the extent of suture opening between the anterior and posterior MIs (P > 0.05). The posterior MI to hemiplate line was greater than that anteriorly (P < 0.05). The apical distance between the posterior MIs was greater than that anteriorly (P < 0.05). The palatal thickness at the anterior MIs was significantly greater than that posteriorly (P > 0.01). Conclusions: In the coronal plane, the angulation between the anterior MIs in relation to the jackscrew plate was greater than that between the posterior MIs owing to the differential palatal bone thickness.

Objective: This study aimed to systematically analyze the effect and stability of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of patients with maxillary transverse deficiency (MTD). Methods: We searched PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Database for relevant studies published before February 18, 2021 and selected them according to the eligibility criteria. The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews (version 5.1.0) criteria were used for the quality assessment of randomized controlled trials, while the scoring protocol of the methodological index for non-randomized studies was used for non-randomized controlled trials. Statistical analysis was performed using the RevMan5.3 software. Results: All the included studies showed a relatively high success rate of expansion. The changes in both the intermolar and alveolar widths after MARPE were statistically significant. MARPE exhibited greater skeletal expansion effects than did conventional RPE. The midpalatal suture was opened in parallel after MARPE. A small amount of relapse was observed 1 year after expansion. MARPE caused tooth inclination and a decrease in alveolar height, but it was less significant than in conventional RPE. Conclusions: MARPE may be an effective treatment modality for patients with MTD. It causes great transverse skeletal expansion in late adolescence. In comparison to conventional RPE, MARPE has lower detrimental periodontal effects and has certain clinical advantages.
