Transverse Stability after RPE in y Cleft Palate Patients

Recommendations

Info

Gap in Knowledge • Due to limitations of conventional 2D projection p j imaging, g g, we have a limited understanding of the transverse and anterior‐ posterior changes that occur in the maxilla following palatal expansion • Cone‐beam CT offers ff the potential to investigate these changes with more accuracy
Statement of Purpose • The h purpose of f this hi study d was to evaluate l short‐ h term transverse stability after RPE in patients with ith cleft lftpalate lt • Specifically, does the amount of palatal expansion performed before the graft, correlate to post‐ graft transverse changes at six months & one year? ? • Understanding this relationship is important because insight into post‐expansion changes may influence pre‐expansion treatment decisions
