In this study, 24 patients with posterior skeletal cross-bite were
treated at Orthodontics Department-Faculty of Dentistry in Hama
University. Hyrax expansion device was applied in all patients and
the results were assessed after active expansion
period. Cone
beam computed tomography radiograph were taken at the
assessment times.
Results showed that the midpalatal suture width has increased
significantly at all measured areas. The results revealed that
significant tipping in the canines , premolars and molars was
recorded in this study.
Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the three-dimensional
effects of a Twin Block (TB) appliance on the pharyngeal airway
passage (PAP) in a sample of Class II patients with mandibular
retrusion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
The RME force is not only concentrated on widening the maxilla,
it is concomitant changes occur in craniofacial sutures, from here
the need for this study was originated.
Aim of the study: To investigate the immediate effect of rapid
maxillary expansion on the spheno-occipital Synchondrosis in
children using cone beam computed tomography.
It is difficult to choose between the rapid maxillary expansion
(RME) and surgically assisted RME (SARME), we aimed to study the
relationship between the obliteration index in midpalatal suture
and cervical vertebral maturation staging (CVMs).
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of the size and
areas of the upper airway with the Facial growth type in adults ,and
to investigate the differences in upper airway measurements
between males and females using sagittal and axial sl
ices of three
dimensional computed tomography.
