AIMS: To determine the possibility of palatal expansion in mature maxillae without and with surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE), and to quantify the amount of expansion without SARPE in relation to age.
SUBJECTS AND METHOD: Thirty five consecutive patients (24 females, 11 males) ranging in age from 20 years 2 months to 53 years 8 months (mean age 28 years 5 months), were assessed concerning the need for SARPE (1) the overall opening of the expander (2), and the intercanine and intermolar expansion values on study models (3,4). Expansion was performed with a pure bone borne maxillary expander on four mini-implants (Micro4) initially using a force limiting gauge and a multicycle protocol. If the diastema did not open or the necessary width was not achieved the patient was referred for SARPE. Intercanine and intermolar distances were measured at expander insertion and 2 months after the end of expansion without brackets.
RESULTS: Overall without SARPE n = 29, with SARPE n = 6. The mean expander opening: 7.4 mm (SD 0.8 mm; no SARPE), 8.3 mm (SD 1.2 mm; SARPE). The mean gain in intercanine distance: 5.1 mm (SD 0.7 mm; no SARPE), 5.8 mm (SD 0.7 mm; SARPE). Mean gain in intermolar distance (fossa-fossa): 4.8 mm (SD 0.5 mm; no SARPE), 5.5 mm (SD 0.7 mm; SARPE).
CONCLUSION: The method of mini-implant borne palatal expansion in adults is a promising and effective way of widening the maxilla. Only one out of four patients needed surgical assistance for maxillary expansion. This treatment concept is minimally invasive without major complications.
