Effect of activation protocol on miniscrew-assisted palatal expansion: A systematic review of current evidence

Abstract: Background and Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to review the effect of different activation protocols of miniscrew-assisted palatal expanders used in the treatment of maxillary skeletal transverse deficiency.

“…Multiple studies have previously investigated the skeletal and dento-alveolar effects of miniscrew-supported ME and have demonstrated their effectiveness in treating transverse maxillary deficiency, [8,34,35] in addition to their positive effects on the nasal airway. [18-21] However, there is a lack of consensus across the published studies regarding their optimal rate of activation, [32] and none of the studies compared the effect of the different activation protocols on the nasal cavity width. Hence, the objective of the current study was to compare the nasal cavity width changes following miniscrew-supported ME using slow and rapid activation protocols.…”

“…[10,23,30,31] A comparison between slow and rapid activation protocols of miniscrew-supported ME has not been previously described in the literature. [32] Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of slow and rapid activation protocols of miniscrew-supported ME on the nasal cavity. The null hypothesis of the current study was that there was no difference between the two activation protocols of miniscrew-supported ME.…”
