Pulp changes from rapid maxillary expansion: A systematic review

Abstract: The dental pulp is a specialized tissue formed by connective tissue surrounded by mineralized dental tissues. 1 Its vitality and sensibility are established by the presence of the vascular-nervous bundle, which nourishes the pulp through the apical foramen. 2 When exposed to an aggressor agent, the pulp can present inflammatory or degenerative reactions that depend on the type, frequency and intensity of the irritating stimulus. 1 Local factors such as mechanical stimuli produced by orthodontic movement can… Show more

“…To summarize, the literature appears to support that OTM can increase PCC in non‐traumatized teeth greater than that expected with physiological ageing, leading to a reduction in the pulp chamber dimensions and volume (i.e. calcification) 42,44,45 . The differences reported likely relate to other variables including history of trauma, OTM variables (type, duration, force levels) and individual genetic predisposition 119 .…”

“…In summary, and as concluded by a series of systematic reviews over the last decade, [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] orthodontic forces result in biological responses in the dental pulp including initial decreased pulpal blood flow, reactive hyperaemia, increased pulpal cellular responses, pulpal fibrosis, interference with pulpal sensibility and increase in the expression or activity levels of certain enzymes and neuropeptides associated with inflammation. Generally, these responses appear to be transient and temporary, and usually reversible, [42][43][44][45]47 if forces are within the physiological limits for the particular clinical scenario. 34,44,48 The systematic review by Weissheimer et al 47 evaluated only studies that assessed the pulpal status of teeth subjected to OTM using LDF or pulse oximetry.…”

“…Assessment of risk of bias and overall study quality was performed using the National Heart, Lung and Blood institute’s Quality Assessment Tool for Before–After (Pre–Post) Studies With No Control Group [ 15 – 18 ]. Criteria 8 ‘Where the people assessing the outcomes blinded to the participants' exposures/interventions?’ and 12 ‘If the intervention was conducted at a group level (e.g., a whole hospital, a community, etc.)…”
