Unwanted craniofacial fractures in MARPE/MASPE patients: a hidden risk?
Non surgical mid facial expansion is a potential source of unwanted and unpredicted dislocations in the craneofacial complex. According to this report the observed complications do not seem to be age related and are difficult to predict from the CBCT. A close clinical follow up including force monitoring and force limitation should be mandatory when performing MARPE. MASPE and minimally invasive SARPE could be alternatives to minimise the incidence of creaniofacial complications.
