Effects of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion on nasal dimensions using acoustic rhinometry

Abstract: Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion increases the minor cross-sectional areas and volume of the nasal cavities. Acoustic rhinometry is an objective method for evaluating the geometry of the nasal cavity in patients with transverse maxillary deficiency.

“…The decrease in nasal resistance and the expansion of the pharyngeal lumen, especially in the LL, might help prevent OSAS. 29,30 Regarding the dental results obtained in the present study, an expansion of 0.65 cm was observed between the first premolars, whereas the first molar region expansion was 0.57 cm. Similar mean values have been reported in other studies, 31,32 which shows that the amount of expansion is within the normal range and that such expansion does not need to be extreme to promote the changes obtained in the pharynx.…”

“…The surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) produces a widening at the nasal floor which reduces the nasal airflow resistance, improving the nasopharynx function and breathing patterns. The nasal cavity changes after SARME can be evaluated by cephalometric data [8][9] . Although this is widely used for the upper airway evaluation, there is still lack of cephalometric studies which specifically evaluate the upper airway after SARME.…”

“…Porém, há poucos relatos, e com metodologias divergentes, na avaliação de tais alterações com o tratamento cirúrgico de pacientes com deficiências transversais maxilares. Apesar da dificuldade em confrontar os resultados desta pesquisa devido à escassez de trabalhos com avaliações semelhantes, observa-se que tal assunto vem despertando o interesse atual dos pesquisadores (Mitsuda et al, 2010;Ramires et al, 2008;Baraldi et al, 2007). Assim, o presente trabalho demonstra a elaboração e os resultados de uma metolodologia inédita para a avaliação objetiva e subjetiva das alterações aéreas das cavidades nasais e para compará-las com as modificações das medidas ortodônticas maxilares.…”

“…Todas as medidas otorrinolaringológicas melhoraram com o uso de vasoconstritor nasal, fato também descrito por diversos autores, uma vez que o vasoconstritor reduz o edema da mucosas nasais, aumentando, assim, área seccional, volume e, como conseqüência, fluxo respirtório (Roithman et al, 1995b;Baraldi et al, 2007;Gomes et al, 2008;Mitsuda et al, 2010).…”
