Summary: This study evaluated skeletal, dentoalveolar, and dental changes after using tooth bone-borne expanders for Mini-screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) in adolescent patients. The results showed that MARPE achieved successful skeletal transverse maxillary expansion while causing minimal changes to the dentoalveolar region and dental inclination.

Summary: This study compared the crossbite correction of surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) group and non-surgical transversal dentoalveolar compensation (DC) group. The results showed no significant difference in the correction of crossbite between the two groups at different teeth. Maxillary expansion was greater in the SARPE group, while mandibular compression was greater in the DC group.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the buccolingual tooth movements in surgical and nonsurgical posterior crossbite correction. The study included patients treated with surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) and patients treated with dentoalveolar compensation using completely customized lingual appliances (DC-CCLA). The results showed that there was no significant difference in buccolingual inclination change between the two groups, except for the upper canines which were more tipped in the surgical group.

Summary: This systematic review examines the effects of surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) on facial soft tissues. The included studies suggest a post-surgical increase in alar width and alar base width. However, due to methodological limitations and high risk of bias, quantitative synthesis was not feasible.

Summary: Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) can cause significant buccal tipping of posterior teeth and some bone displacement; it also moves the maxilla and teeth forward and increases nasal width.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of two-segment and three-segment osteotomy surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion, finding no significant differences in symmetry or stability between the two groups. The psychological benefits provided by the three-segment technique did not significantly impact the patients' quality of life.

Summary: The study investigates the changes in temporalis and masseter activity before and after SARPE surgery in adult patients. The results show that there is a significant increase in the activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles on the side where the cross-bite was treated after SARPE.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in electromyographic activity of temporal and masseter muscles before and after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in adult subjects. Data from 20 patients with unilateral posterior crossbite were analyzed retrospectively. The results showed that SARME did not alter the electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporal muscles.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated nasomaxillary changes in patients who underwent MARPE or SARPE surgeries, finding that MARPE produced smaller dental changes but greater nasomaxillary expansion than SARPE. MARPE uniformly increased the anterior and posterior widths of the nasal cavity, while SARPE expanded the nasal cavity in a 'V-shape' pattern.

Summary: This umbrella review critically appraises the quality of evidence and clinical outcomes of available systematic reviews on maxillary expansion through miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). The review found methodological constraints in the included systematic reviews, but suggests that MARPE may lead to significant clinical changes and have fewer adverse effects compared to conventional methods. However, the quality of evidence from the available systematic reviews is not favorable, indicating the need for future high standard systematic reviews and well-designed clinical trials to further clarify the efficacy of MARPE.

Summary: A systematic review of the effects of extracting primary canines on incisor irregularity and dental arch morphology showed that in the mixed dentition, primary canine extraction can improve incisor irregularity but may result in reduced arch length and intermolar width, as well as decreased overjet and increased overbite.

Summary: A systematic review found that the survival rate of deciduous molars in cases of agenesis of premolar successors is high, with approximately 82% to 89% of the retained molars remaining in the oral cavity after a follow-up ranging from 5 to 13 years. The incidence of root resorption and infraocclusion was low.

Summary: Laypeople showed higher acceptance towards mandibular advancements compared to orthodontists, while patients exhibited individual variability in their perception of facial changes. Thorough discussion among professionals, parents, and patients is recommended when planning significant mandibular advancements.

Summary: This review evaluated the effects of oral appliance therapy on serum inflammatory cytokines in adults diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Five studies met the eligibility criteria, with one RCT and four NRCTs. While the RCT showed no significant differences in marker levels after 2 months of therapy, the NRCTs showed improvement in certain cytokine levels after longer follow-up periods. The level of certainty for inflammatory markers in the RCT was moderate, while it was very low for NRCTs.

Summary: The retention phase in orthodontics can be challenging and unpredictable. Evidence from this systematic review suggests that bonded retainers are more effective in maintaining treatment stability in the lower arch compared to vacuum-formed retainers, especially in the initial 6 months and in the long term. However, both retainers were equally effective in the upper arch.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between pain perception and catastrophising at the beginning of orthodontic treatment, as well as the association between pain during orthodontic treatment and demographic, clinical, and other psychological factors. The results showed that catastrophising has a mild influence on pain perception, and patients with tooth losses, tooth crowding, and using thicker archwires are more likely to report pain after orthodontic activations.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of permanent molar loss on the duration of orthodontic treatment and found that the loss of molars leads to longer treatment time, especially when there are more missing teeth or both arches are involved. Additionally, the number of missed clinical appointments also increases treatment time.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the role of orthodontic retainers on the stability of compensatory orthodontic treatment in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. The results showed that orthodontic retainers may not be essential for preventing relapse at anterior maxillary dimensions, but relapse in the posterior region can have clinical significance. Further prospective studies are needed to improve the certainty of the evidence.

Summary: This study evaluated the physiological behavior of mandibular incisor crowding during the transition from mixed to permanent dentition. The results showed that spontaneous longitudinal changes in the dental arch can lead to a reduction in mandibular incisor crowding, providing scientific evidence for longitudinal follow-up in patients with mild to borderline moderate crowding in the mixed dentition.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the self-correction incidence of posterior crossbite in different stages of childhood dentition. The results showed that the self-correction frequencies ranged from 12.2% to 77.1% during the transition from primary to mixed dentition, approximately 16% from mixed to permanent dentition, and a range from 20% to 82.8% from deciduous to permanent dentition. However, the frequency of self-correction of posterior crossbite remains uncertain and further studies are needed.

Summary: The study evaluated the self-correction of ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar and its predictive factors. The results indicated a possibility of 47%-78% of spontaneous correction up to 7 years of age. Irreversible cases had a poorer prognosis and required early intervention.

Summary: The review evaluated patients' perceptions of orthodontic retainers, finding initial discomfort and functional limitations but improvements over time. Different esthetic, functional, and ease-of-use advantages were reported for removable and fixed retainers. The evidence suggests a preference for thermoplastic over Hawley-type retainers, despite some functional difficulties.
