Associations Between Radiographic Inclination of Premolars and Maxillary Expansion
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Rapid palatal expansion: Patients undergone orthopedic treatment with rapid palatal expander
Study summary
Recruitment of patients treated using rapid maxillary expanders with dental anchorage, with pre-treatment panoramic X-rays and post-treatment models. In the initial phase of the study, the objective is to correlate the radiographic inclination of the upper permanent premolars in the pre-treatment orthopantomography to the expansion obtained at the end of therapy using a palatal expander with dental anchorage.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Number of required activation for maxillary expansion — T0 (pre-treatment casts/x-rays) and T1 (post-treatment casts/x-rays)
Correlation between the number of activations of the rapid palatal expander and premolar inclination (angle between the long axis of the premolars with the occlusal plane)
