Condition(s) studied

Rapid Maxillary Expansion

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

MARPE

MARPE: Adult patients with maxillary constriction underwent maxillary expansion using a miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE).

Study summary

At the beginning of MARPE treatment (T1) and at the end of the 3-month consolidation phase (T2), patients will complete the teen-STOP-BANG questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess the potential benefit of MARPE in reducing the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Additionally, changes in the upper airway will be evaluated using CBCT images obtained at T1 and T2.

Inclusion Criteria: Class I malocclusion Maxillary transverse deficiency Age between 15 and 18 years No systemic disease, cleft lip and palate, or speech disorders No history of prior orthodontic treatment Voluntary agreement to participate in the study Good oral hygiene ANB angle between 2° and 5° Exclusion Criteria: Presence of systemic diseases Smoking Poor oral hygiene Lack of cooperation Mental retardation Obesity or nutritional disorders Macroglossia or mandibular retrognathia

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Change in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk as measured by the teen-STOP-BANG questionnaire — 3 month
    The teen-STOP-BANG questionnaire will be used to assess changes in OSA risk following MARPE treatment. STOP-BANG scores range from 0 to 8; a score of at least 3 indicates that the patient is at risk of OSAHS, and a score of at least 5 indicates that the patient is at high risk of OSA.
