Objective: To identify the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) procedure on dynamic
measurement of natural head position (NHP).
Materials and Methods: The treatment group comprised 23 patients, 12 girls and 11 boys (mean
age: 10.1 6 1.1 years), and the control group comprised 15 subjects, 8 girls and 7 boys (mean age:
9.7 6 1.4 years). The test subjects underwent RME treatment using full cap acrylic device, and the
mean amount of expansion was 5.48 mm. An inclinometer and a portable data logger were used to
collect the NHP data. Intragroup changes were evaluated by using nonparamet ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To test the hypotheses that (1) there is no difference in mandibular asymmetry between
the crossbite and normal side in a unilateral crossbite group (UCG) and between the right and left
sides in a bilateral crossbite group (BCG) and a control group (CG); and (2) there is no significant
difference in mandibular asymmetry among crossbite groups and control group.
Materials and Methods: The cone-beam computed tomography scans of three groups were
studied: (1) 15 patients (6 male, 9 female; mean age: 13.51 6 2.03 years) with unilateral posterior
crossbite; (2) 15 patients (8 male, ...Daha fazlası
