DISCUSSIONDISCUSSION

Page 54: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

Dental TippingDental Tipping Multiple studies7,13,25 show that a decrease in sutural

opening can lead to dental tipping and alveolar bending

Garrett et al1 showed alveolar bending accounted for 13% of expansion at the 1st molar compared to 6% at the 1st premolar due a decrease in sutural opening.

Hicks28 showed that maxillary expansion produces close to 50% skeletal movement and 50% dental tipping.

Page 55: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

Wertz26 verified the maxillary suture had a nonparallel opening during separation in a 3 to 1 ratio from anterior to posterior. Interlocking pyramidal process of the palatine bone Immobilization of the medial and lateral pterygoid

plates of the sphenoid bone

Age was the major contributing factor to prevention of sutural opening

Page 56: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

The results obtained from this ICAT three dimensional study was similar to previous research that demonstrated that sutural opening in a triangular pattern with the wide base at the anterior portion of the maxilla

The current study showed significant differences of first molar tipping between banded and bonded expanders

More palatal alveolar bending was seen in the banded expander possibly due to dental tipping

• expansores inducen pérdida de las paredes bucales de los dientes de anclaje especialmente en personas que las tienen finas.

• a nivel de premolares los expansores anclados solamente a dientes producen mas pérdida ósea que los expansores anclados a tejidos y dientes.

Page 60: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSIONDISCUSSION

Page 61: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

This difference may be due to the appliance design. bonded expander is cemented to all posterior

teeth with acrylic, dissipating forces

Banded expanders have bands on the first molars and premolars. These teeth must bear all the force exerted by the palatal expander.

Page 62: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

Since it is more difficult to expand the posterior maxilla, it is not surprising that we see significant tipping of the first molar using a banded expander.

Page 63: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSIONDISCUSSION Naso-maxillary ComplexNaso-maxillary Complex

Both appliances were equally successful in Both appliances were equally successful in increasing anterior/posterior nasal width, increasing anterior/posterior nasal width, nasal floor width, maxillary width, nasal soft nasal floor width, maxillary width, nasal soft tissue, and maxillary sinus volumetissue, and maxillary sinus volume

An increase in nasal width and maxillary An increase in nasal width and maxillary sinus volume can have significant effects on sinus volume can have significant effects on nasal respiration, nasal resistance, and soft nasal respiration, nasal resistance, and soft tissue nasal changestissue nasal changes4,10,294,10,29

Page 64: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

Haas4 showed that by widening the maxilla, widening of the nose occurred as well as increased nasal respiration in chronic mouth breathers.

Berger et al.10 used photographic analysis to show soft tissue changes associated with maxillary expansion.

Garrett et al.1 showed a decrease in linear dimension of the maxillary sinus due to an increase width of the nasal cavity.

Page 65: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

The current study suggests that skeletal width increases have a near 1:1 ratio with soft tissue increases after expansion

Page 66: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

No previous studies have related anterior to posterior nasal bony changes which is now possible due to CBCT imaging. Expansion produces not only posterior, but anterior

nasal widening leading to subsequent soft tissue changes.

No current studies analyze three dimensional changes in the maxillary sinus and posterior airway after maxillary expansion The increase in maxillary sinus volume can possibly

improve nasal respiration, decrease nasal resistance, and increase airway reservoirs. Although there was an increase in posterior airway volume, the results were not significant possibly due to the large standard deviations observed.

Page 67: Cbc teval of exp -compressed

DISCUSSION

In the future, CBCT imaging and volumetric software can be used to look at the entire naso-maxillary complex
