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: This study compared the effectiveness and side effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARME) with conventional rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in the treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency. The results showed that MARME achieved greater palatal suture opening, increased palatal width, and reduced buccal inclination compared to traditional RME.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the midpalatal suture repair pattern after miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in adult patients. Most adult patients demonstrated incomplete repair of the midpalatal suture 16 months after MARPE, but adequate bone repair covering more than half of the hard palate extension was observed in 80.95% of the patients.

Summary: The influence of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) on the interdental papilla height of maxillary central incisors was evaluated in this retrospective study. Results showed that 18% of patients exhibited mild recession of papilla height 1.5 years after MARPE, which was associated with the increase of CP-B, overlapping and smaller W/L of maxillary central incisors, and smaller MCD immediately after expansion.

Summary: This report describes the successful treatment of an adult case of unilateral posterior crossbite caused by maxillary transverse deficiency with miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). The treatment involved improving the posterior crossbite and using fixed appliances to achieve a good occlusion. The results demonstrate that MARPE is effective for the treatment of maxillary transverse deficiency in adult patients.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the displacement and stress distribution of stainless steel miniscrews and titanium alloy miniscrews during miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansions. The study found that bicortical anchorage induced less stress and greater transverse displacement compared to monocortical anchorage. Therefore, bicortical anchorage is preferable in challenging clinical scenarios.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the treatment effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion using dental cone-beam computed tomography (CT) in adolescents. Significant differences were observed in skeletal and dentoalveolar measurements before and after treatment. The maxillary expansion was triangular in shape, with greater expansion in the lower maxillary part. The anterior midpalatal suture showed greater opening than the posterior suture, while the posterior suture opening proportion was higher than conventional rapid palatal expansion.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the cephalometric effects of RME and EGA therapy in Class II growing patients. The results showed that this treatment protocol could have significant effects on the sagittal and vertical dimensions, but the lack of customization of functional therapy and the need for compliance by the patient were limitations.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the dentoskeletal and periodontal changes after miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in patients aged 18-29 and 30-45 years. The results showed that the dentoskeletal and periodontal changes were similar between the young adult and middle adult groups after MARPE.

Summary: This study compared soft tissue profile changes in Angle class II malocclusion patients treated with a Twin Force appliance or class II elastics. The results showed that patients treated with the Twin Force appliance had a greater reduction in facial convexity compared to those treated with class II elastics. Other soft tissue changes were similar in both groups.

Summary: The study compared cephalometric changes in Class II malocclusion patients treated with Jasper Jumper and Forsus appliances along with fixed appliances. Both appliances showed similar dentoskeletal changes, including restrictive effect on the maxilla, clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane, and improvements in molar relationship and overjet, among others. Notably, Jasper Jumper group exhibited greater protrusion of the mandibular incisors compared to the other groups, while Forsus group showed mild protrusion of the lower lip.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different cleaning methods on the surface of etched and silanized lithium disilicate glass ceramic, as well as the impact of applying a new silane layer after cleaning on the bond strength between resin cement and the ceramic. The results showed that all cleaning methods were effective in removing saliva from the surface, while only one method was able to restore the adhesion quality on surfaces contaminated with human blood.

Summary: This study evaluated the bond strength of a resin luting agent to a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic after the use of different fit-checking materials and cleaning protocols. It was found that articulating paper and fit-checker liquid, when not properly removed, negatively affected the bond strength. The tested cleaning protocols were effective in restoring the bond strength of resin luting agents to ceramics exposed to articulating spray or fit-checker liquid.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze maternal risk factors associated with negative outcomes of COVID-19 and association with socioeconomic indicators in Brazil. The results showed that factors such as age, obesity, asthma, and pregnancy were responsible for the increase in hospitalizations, respiratory complications, and death. Vaccination reduced the risk of negative outcomes by 50%. There were no correlations between socioeconomic indicators and the negative outcomes of COVID-19 in pregnant women.

Summary: This study compared the soft tissue profile changes after treatment with the TFBC appliance in patients with different facial patterns. The results showed that using the TFBC appliance in patients with hypodivergent and hyperdivergent patterns can lead to similar changes in the soft tissue profile.
