Nasal and pharyngeal airway changes following three different rapid palatal expansion protocols in nongrowing subjects: Effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion and surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion with or without pterygomaxil
MARPE group showed greater increases in linear and volumetric measurements. However, differences were statistically insignificant compared to SARME-PD(-). Retropalatal and retroglossal parameters were unaffected in all groups. PD did not provide substantial advantage.
