U.S., Feb. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07404488) titled 'Comparison of Two Miniscrew Bone-borne Expanders (2 vs 4 Screws) Versus Conventional Hyrax Expander in Adolescents' on Feb. 04.
Brief Summary: Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is used to correct transverse deficiencies of the maxilla. This randomized controlled trial compares three RME devices in adolescents (age 10-15) with at least 8 mm maxillary transverse deficiency: (1) bone-borne expander supported by two palatal miniscrews, (2) bone-borne expander supported by four palatal miniscrews, and (3) conventional tooth-borne Hyrax expander. Devices were placed using static computer-guided miniscrew insertion (where applicable). All pa...
