A therapeutic alternative for posterior cross bite in adult patients: MARPE
Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Transverse maxillary deficiency is characterized as a malocclusion that affects patients of all age groups. Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is indicated for its correct treatment. However, there are cases in which therapy with the use of a expander alone is not enough, which can cause unwanted effects. In this way, there is another orthodontic alternative called rapid assisted maxillary expansion, mini-implant rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE). This makes it possible to treat the posterior crossbite (PC), by applying directed forces on the maxillary bone segments, as a purely skeletal disjunction. The main objective of the present literature review is to report the main aspects of treatment of PC associated with orthodontic mini-implants. Scientific articles were selected using the online databases Web of Sciences, Lilacs and Pubmed. Studies show that MARPE, in relation to other expanding devices, have the advantages of minimizing the risk of injury to periodontal tissues, avoiding inclination of posterior teeth and producing expansion only at the bone level. It can be concluded that the MARPE an effective alternative for the treatment of maxillary atresia and crossbites for adult patients.
