Surgically Assisted Unilaterel Maxillary expansion: A Case Report

Abstract

Rapid maxillary expansion is a treatment routine for growing patients with transversal maxillary deficiency. Conventional surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion may lead to unwanted buccal expansion in the normal side of the patients suffering from unilateral buccal crossbite. In the current case, osteotomy was applied to the side with buccal cross-bite, but the side with normal occlusion remained intact. Therefore, without forming any change on the side with normal occlusion, unilateral cross-bite was corrected

Cerrahi destekli unileteral maksiller genisletme: bir olgu sunumu

Abstract

Hızlı üst çene genişletmesi, üst çenelerinde transversal yetmezlik olan çocuklarda, rutin olarak kullanılan bir tedavi yaklaşımıdır. Unilateral çapraz kapanışa sahip yetişkin bireylerde yapılan konvansiyonel cerrahi destekli hızlı üst çene genişletmesi uygulamaları normal kapanışlı tarafta bukkal non-oklüzyona neden olabilmektedir. Bu vakada, çapraz kapanışa sahip tarafa osteotomi uygulanmış, normal kapanışlı tarafta osteotomi uygulanmamıştır. Böylelikle, normal kapanış gösteren tarafın oklüzyonu bozulmadan unilateral çapraz kapanışın düzeltilmiştir
