STABILITY IN RAPID MAXILLARY EXPANSION: A Systematic Review Of Randomised Controlled Trials

Abstract

Maxillary transverse deficiency is one of the most prevalent problems that is commonly encountered, Upto almost 23.3% in deciduous dentition group¹. As growth first gets completed in the transverse plane, it is very important to diagnose it and treat it as early as possible.

According to Harrison and Ashby(2001)² concluded that the trails before 1999 were insufficient and non-conclusive as they were only quantitative. Hence in this article, the RCT’s from 2000 will be reviewed.
