Clinical Trial: Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Responses During Rapid Maxillary Expansion: A Controlled Clinical Study

U.S., July 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07695584) titled 'Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Responses During Rapid Maxillary Expansion: A Controlled Clinical Study' on July 06.

Brief Summary: Rapid maxillary expansion is an orthopedic treatment used to correct transverse maxillary deficiency in growing patients. Mechanical forces generated during expansion may induce local biological responses, including changes in oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanisms.

This prospective, non-randomized, controlled pilot study evaluated changes in oxidative and antioxidant biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid during rapid maxillary expansion and the early retention period. Twenty-eight part...
