Aim: To three-dimensionally (3D) assess the long-term effects of tooth-borne and bone-borne surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME).
Subjects And Methods: This prospective cohort study comprised 45 consecutive skeletally mature non-syndromic patients with transverse maxillary hypoplasia. In 28 patients, a tooth-borne distractor (Hyrax) was used for expansion, whereas in the remaining 17 a bone-borne distractor (transpalatal distractor, TPD) was used. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed before treatment (T0) and 22 months later, after fixed appliance treatment (T1). 3D models were constructed from CBCT data and superimposed using voxel-based matching. Distance maps between the superimposed models were computed to evaluate the amount of skeletal changes.
Results: The distance maps of the superimposed models showed positive distances on the right and left posterior alveolar segments of the maxilla indicating lateral expansion. The anterior maxillary region showed negative distances or posterior displacement and remodelling of the anterior alveolar region. There was no statistically significant difference between TPD and Hyrax for the three alveolar segments (p values ranged 0.63-0.81).
Conclusion: Bone-borne and tooth-borne SARME were found to produce comparable results at the end of fixed appliance treatment regarding skeletal changes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical effects of four different designs of frog appliances for molar distalization using finite element analysis.
Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model including complete dentition, periodontal ligament, palatine, and alveolar bone was established. Four types of frog appliances were designed to simulate maxillary molar distalization: tooth-button-borne (Type A), bone-borne (Type B), bone-button-borne (Type C), and tooth-bone-borne (Type D) frog appliances.

Purpose: This two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate and compare periodontal changes due to rapid maxillary expansion (RME) using tooth-bone-borne and tooth-borne devices in growing patients via clinical examinations and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: Forty-two eligible patients (aged 11-14 years; transverse maxillary deficiency, posterior crossbite) were screened and divided into two groups based on the treatment received (randomization was performed using computer-generated numeric sequences): hybrid hyrax tooth-bone-borne group (TBB) and hyrax tooth-borne group (TB). The primary outcome was the change in cortical bone thickness (by CBCT).

Objectives: To synthesise the dentoalveolar, periodontal and skeletal changes that occur when using maxillary expansion techniques assisted by temporary anchorage devices compared to conventional protocols.
Methods: Five databases and grey literature were consulted, up to December 2023, focusing on intervention designs and excluding other type of studies. The quality assessment was conducted by using the adaptation for orthodontics of the CONSORT statement, the guidelines for reporting non-randomised studies, the RoB-2 tool, and the ROBINS-I tool.

Objective: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate and compare, during the first week of rapid maxillary expansion (RME), the impact caused by two types of appliances: Hyrax and Hybrid Hyrax.
Methods: Forty-two patients who met the eligibility criteria (aged 11-14 years, with transverse maxillary deficiency, posterior crossbite, and presence of maxillary first premolars and first permanent molars) were selected and randomly divided into two groups: TBB GROUP (tooth-bone-borne expander), treated with Hybrid Hyrax (12 females and 9 males, mean age 13.3 ± 1.
