Background: The literature shows no consensus on whether two- or three-segment surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion is the best operative technique.
Methods: The present clinical trial was designed to compare the outcome of two- and three-segment osteotomy surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Thirty-two adult patients with transverse maxillary deficiency greater than or equal to 5 mm were randomly assigned to two- and three-segment groups (n = 16).
