The lecture will cover the results of a systematic review of randomized controlled trials focusing on skeletal, dental, and upper airway outcomes in patients undergoing to surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) with different osteotomies: pterygomaxillary disjunction (SARME+PD; SARME-PD), and segmental Le Fort I osteotomy (2-pieces; 3-pieces).
Learning Objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
To analyze the different osteotomies available for surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion.
To discuss the skeletal, dental, and upper airway outcomes of SARME with or without pterygomaxillary disjunction.
To discuss the skeletal, dental, and upper airway outcomes of SARME with 2-pieces or 3-pieces Le Fort I osteotomy.
