Transverse Skeletal Effects Of Hyrax-Type Rapid Maxillary Expansion With Or Without Laser Biostimulation, Hadeel Hamed, Ahmed Salama, Hend Hafez, Mai Mansour, Mostafa Gheith

Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry

ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Laser biostimulation on the transverse changes of maxilla and mandible after rapid maxillary expansion in growing patients. Subject and Methods: Twenty growing patients with posterior teeth in crossbite were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Rapid maxillary expansion had been carried out for all patients. In laser group Laser was applies on mid palatal suture during active expansion and during retention. The control group had no laser with their expansion procedures. Pre-treatment and post-treatment Cone beam computed tomographies were used to compare …
