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: This study evaluated the density of the midpalatal suture in individuals undergoing maxillary expansion using different treatment methods and found variations in the efficacy of rapid maxillary expansion, surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion, and miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion in different regions.

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: 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: 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: 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 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: Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is a common procedure for correcting transverse deficiency in the maxilla in skeletally mature patients. However, there is little agreement on the sagittal and vertical displacement of the maxilla after SARPE. This systematic review aims to analyze the positional changes of the maxilla in the sagittal and vertical dimensions after SARPE.

Summary: MARPE technique showed greater transverse skeletal changes in the midface and basal bone compared with SARPE, while SARPE produced significantly greater dental effects.

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 study used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate dentoskeletal changes in minimally invasive surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE). The results showed a statistically significant increase in the linear transverse dimensions of the maxilla, as well as dental inclination to the buccal aspect. However, significant expansion of the maxilla at the skeletal and dentoalveolar levels was confirmed.

Summary: Transverse discrepancy is a crucial factor in facial esthetics. SARPE, a commonly used treatment method, is influenced by surgical techniques and expander designs. This study evaluated the displacement and stress distribution of craniofacial structures resulting from SARPE under different conditions using finite element analysis.

Summary: Microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) is commonly used in clinical practice, but its impact on upper airway volume in patients with maxillary transverse deficiency has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study conducted a comprehensive search and analysis of relevant studies, and found that MARPE treatment was associated with significant increases in oropharynx, nasal, and nasopharynx volumes. However, further high-quality clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings and assess the long-term effects of MARPE on the upper airway.

Summary: This study investigated the volume changes of tooth pulps after SARPE with a tooth-borne device, finding a statistically significant decrease in pulp volumes of incisors, premolars, and molars between pre-surgery and post-consolidation periods. The findings suggest that the impacts of tooth-borne devices on dental pulps should be considered in SARPE procedures.

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.
