Clinical Trial Summary

A few studies state that 3-segment SARPE has the following advantages: a) higher level of expansion symmetry; b) higher level of stability of the expansion achieved; and c) faster bone healing. The investigators hypothesize that 2-segment SARPE is as effective as 3-segment SARPE concerning treatment and/or quality of life in daily practice.


Clinical Trial Description

32 healthy, literate adult patients (male and female) with 7-millimeter transverse maxilla deficiency bilaterally distributed will participate in this study.

The participants will be assigned randomizable in equal number to undergo either 3-segment or 2-segment SARPE.

Individuals that a) have undergone maxilla surgery previously; b) have craniofacial anomaly;and c) have dental crowding will not be enrolled.

All participants will be assessed before and after surgery for sensitivity to pressure and temperature in the innervated structures linked to the maxilla, as well as for quality of life using OHIP-49 and B-OQLQ assessment tools.

The expansion of maxilla will be assessed by superimposing tomographic images before and after surgery. ;
