Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the available evidence to identify the influence of pterygomaxillary disjunction on the result of surgically assisted maxillary expansion.
Background: LeFort I type osteotomy with disjunction of the pterygomaxillary suture is a procedure widely used in maxillofacial surgery. However, the need for its performance during surgically assisted maxillary expansions has been discussed in literature, since serious complications can be caused during this stage.
Review Results: Systematic review of articles was performed using three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane) published until May 2019. After applying the selection criteria, five articles were included in the systematic review, with a total of 141 patients. Meta-analysis showed the absence of significant difference between intervention and control groups in the preoperative period (standardized mean difference = -0.28; confidence interval, CI 95% = -0.81, 0.26; = 0.31) and postoperative period (standardized mean difference = -0.12; 95% CI = -0.65, 0.42; = 0.66). In general, the heterogeneity of statistical estimates was low ( = 0%).
Conclusion: No statistically significant difference was observed between control group (without pterygomaxillary disjunction) and intervention group (with pterygomaxillary disjunction).
Clinical Significance: Based on the data analyzed in this systematic review, it could be concluded that pterygomaxillary disjunction is not a mandatory step to achieve satisfactory maxillary expansion. Thus, not performing pterygomaxillary disjunction can prevent complications and reduce surgical time.

Background: Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) with disjunction of the pterygomaxillary suture is a procedure widely used in maxillofacial surgery. However, the pterygomaxillary disjunction (PD) procedure has often been deemed risky. The actual necessity and effectiveness of PD in SARME remain subjects of debate, with some studies suggesting that sufficient expansion can be achieved without it.

Purpose: Craniofacial osteotomies involving pterygomaxillary disjunction are common procedures in maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons still rely on their proprioception to determine when to stop impacting the osteotome, which is important to avoid complications such as dental damage and bleeding. Our group has developed a technique consisting in using an instrumented hammer that can provide information on the mechanical properties of the tissue located around the osteotome tip.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of different surgical techniques and three expansion appliances on maxillary expansion in adults using finite element analysis (FEA), with a focus on maxillary displacement and stress on surrounding structures.
Methods: Seven different FEA models were created to compare different surgical techniques and three different expansion appliances. Model I represented a bone-supported appliance without surgical assistance.

Introduction: This paper employs finite element analysis to assess the biomechanical behavior of surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) with a bone-borne transpalatal distractor (TPD) by varying surgical parameters.
Material And Methods: Nine models were constructed to scrutinize the effects of pterygomaxillary disjunction (PMD), lateral osteotomy positioning, and TPD placement on displacement profiles and Von Mises stresses. These models encompassed variations such as no, unilateral or bilateral PMD, asymmetrical lateral osteotomy, and five TPD locations.

Objective: This study aims to assess the expansive effects of pterygomaxillary disjunction (PMD) in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) surgery using a meta-analysis approach.
Materials And Methods: The study conducted a comprehensive literature search across five databases: PubMed, Scopus, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane, adhering to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Dental alterations were assessed using either cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or dental casts, while skeletal changes were exclusively measured from CBCT scans.
