Adult maxillary expansion: CBCT evaluation of skeletal changes and determining an efficiency factor between force-controlled polycyclic slow activation and continuous rapid activation for mini-screw-assisted palatal expansion - MASPE vs. MARPE
Slow expansion with FCPC protocol effectively widens the maxilla in adults, with significant impact on bones and sutures and less pterygoid process deformation compared to rapid expansion. Cranial complications were absent in both groups.
