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 study used 3D images to evaluate the impact of RME on changes in NSD. The results showed that RME can reduce the degree of NSD, but there was no significant difference between RME performed with TB and BB anchorage systems.

Summary: This study investigates the potential causes of nasal surgery failures and the impact of maxillary expansion on nasal function. The results indicate that palatal expansion can significantly reduce nasal resistance and improve subjective scores, but further high-quality studies are needed to determine its effectiveness as a primary treatment option for addressing nasal breathing problems.

Summary: This study compared the effects of tooth- and bone-borne appliances on reducing stresses in the facial skeleton during SARME. The results showed that using bone-borne appliances can reduce loads on teeth and result in slightly larger displacements in the buccolingual direction.

Summary: This study assessed changes in the spheno-occipital synchondrosis after rapid maxillary expansion performed with tooth-borne and bone-borne appliances. Both types of expansion resulted in small increments in synchondrosis volume and N-S-Ba degrees, with a posterosuperior pattern of Basion displacement. However, differences between the two groups were clinically negligible.

Summary: This study compared the skeletal and dental effects of different types of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) appliances and found that the McNamara-Type RME group had a higher degree of expansion in the palatal region, while the Full-Coverage RME group had the highest degree of expansion in the posterior region.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the pain perceived by patients during rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and its relation to demographic characteristics, appliance type, activation protocol, and the use of medication or pain management strategies. A total of ten studies were included in the review, and pain was found to be a common effect of RME treatment that tends to decrease over time. The design and protocol of the expander used can influence perceived pain. Some pain management strategies can be effective in reducing RME-associated pain.

Summary: This study aimed to assess patient experience and satisfaction with SARME and MMD techniques in two different groups. The results showed that both procedures achieved high satisfaction rates, with relatively low pain scores. The visual analogue scale group reported a mean satisfaction rate of 8.0, which did not significantly differ from preoperative expectations.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) on patients with maxillary transverse skeletal deficiency (MTSD). The results showed that SARME-2S and SARME-3S had similar effects in improving nasal obstruction symptoms in patients with MTSD.

Summary: The study evaluated the postoperative morphological alterations in the nasal cavity and nasal septum positioning after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion in adult patients. The results showed no significant changes in nasal septum measurements between preoperative, immediate postoperative, and late postoperative stages, indicating symmetry and stability in the nasal septum throughout the treatment period.

Summary: This study evaluated mandibular asymmetry in youngsters with posterior unilateral crossbite (PUXB) before and after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment using cone-beam computed tomography and reverse engineering technique. The results showed a slight and not clinically relevant volumetric and morphological asymmetry between the crossbite side and non-crossbite side in patients with PUXB.

Summary: This study compared the changes in nasal airway volume and airflow after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion using different methods. The results showed a significant increase in nasopharyngeal airway volume, but no significant change in oropharyngeal airway volume. The patients' quality of life also significantly improved.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the mandibular arch during treatment with Rapid Maxillary Expanders (RMEs) in growing subjects by analyzing tridimensional lower digital casts. The results showed a significant increase in the intercanine and intermolar diameters between the times T0 and T1 in the RME treatment group compared to the control group. Therefore, rapid maxillary orthopedic expansion may achieve an increase in mandibular intercanine and intermolar diameter.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of Salvianolic acid B on new bone formation in the orthopedically expanded premaxillary sutures in rats. The results showed that the Sal B group had significantly higher quantities of new bone, capillaries, inflammatory cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts compared to the control group. Salvianolic acid B displayed a positive effect on premaxillary expansion, potentially improving angiogenesis and bone formation.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment on the zygomatic bone complex (ZBC) through a retrospective analysis of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The results showed that RME led to pyramidal expansion of the zygomatic bone in the coronal plane and parallel palatal expansion in the axial plane. Additionally, significant lateral relocation of the zygomatic bone was observed. These findings provide valuable insights into the patterns of skeletal expansion in the zygomatic bone associated with RME treatment.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in lip and facial soft-tissue profile after fixed orthodontic treatment. The results suggest that tooth extraction in orthodontic treatment may affect the vermilion upper lip thickness and facial axis, but it does not have any negative effects on the soft-tissue facial profile.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify the areas of application for teledentistry and analyze its effectiveness in orthodontic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that teledentistry can be an effective method for motivating patients who are undergoing orthodontic treatments that require cooperation, understanding patients' symptoms, and reducing the risk of cross-infection.

Summary: This study compared the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and buccal bone thickness of tooth-bone-borne (Hybrid-H) and tooth-borne (TB) maxillary expanders used for rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in different age groups. The results showed that the hybrid-designed expander was more effective in increasing skeletal and nasal width. The tooth-borne expanders caused tooth tipping and a greater reduction in buccal alveolar bone thickness.
