“…These are technical problems such as loosening or breakage of the expander and biological problems such as pain, 2 nonopening of the midpalatal suture, 3 dental tipping, 4 root resorption of the anchor teeth, 5 gingival recession, 6 widening of the nasal root and nasal bridge, 7 swelling and reddening, 8 and occurrence of nasal septum asymmetries. 8 Root resorption occurs because of individual biologic and genetic predisposition and the effect of mechanical factors. 9,10 When considering root resorption in orthodontics, we must realize that resorption cavities can arise anywhere along the root surface without decreasing root length.…”

Objective: To compare volumetric root resorption after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) between tooth-borne and tissue-borne appliances using CBCT. Repair in resorption cavities after 6 months of fixed retention was also compared. Materials and Methods: A sample of 33 subjects were randomly divided into two groups: Hyrax (n 5 16) and Haas (n 5 17). CBCT scans were taken 6 months before expansion, immediately after expansion, and 6 months after fixed retention. Mimics Innovation V 16.0 software was used for segmentation and volumetric measurement of 198 teeth. Bland-Altman plots, independent samples t test, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the Friedman test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Differences in root resorption after RME and repair after retention were not significant between the hyrax and Haas appliances or between male and female. Significant differences were found between preexpansion and postexpansion root volumes in the first premolars and molarseven in unattached second premolars. When the percentage of root volume loss is considered, no significant difference was found between the first premolar, second premolar, and first molar. Volumetric changes after 6 months of retention were not statistically significant.

“…9 Clinicians are aware that children may report undesirable side effects during the expansion phase, such as pain, nonopening of the suture, and oral ulcerations. [10][11][12] In particular, several studies cited pain as the most frequently experienced effect, with a frequency of 93.9%. 13 Pain is dependent upon such factors as age, gender, stress, individual pain threshold, and cultural differences, as well as the magnitude of force applied.…”

Objective: To investigate the influence of two different activation protocols on the timing and intensity of pain during rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Materials and Methods: A total of 112 prepubertal patients (54 males and 58 females, mean age 11.00 6 1.80 years) with constricted maxillary arches underwent RME with two different activation protocols (group 1: one activation/day; group 2: two activations/day). Patients were provided with a numeric rating scale (NRS) and the Faces Pain Scale (FPS) to correctly assess their daily pain. Results: Subjects treated with RME at two activations/day reported statistically significantly greater amounts of pain than subjects treated with RME at one activation/day. Differences related to gender and skeletal maturity were found. Conclusion: The choice of activation protocol influences the perceived pain during RME, and less daily expansion is correlated to less pain. Pain reported during RME could be influenced by skeletal maturity and gender of the subjects under treatment. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:1015-1020

“…Concurrent with this questionnaire study, there was a locally-distributed, non-anonymous survey on the same issue with a return ratio of 51% [37]. One of the reasons for our low return ratio is the lack of personal responsibility associated with its being anonymous [21].…”

Frequency of and Complications in the Use of RPE Appliances?Results of a Survey in the Federal State of Hesse, Germany

Abstract: The RPE represents a common treatment means during which side effects are often temporary and permanent damages rather rare. It is important to inform the patient about both positive effects and possible complications, in particular pain and extraoral changes.
