36. We must beg leave to differ with the author in
the conclusion arrived at,that by the use of
apparatus described he succeeded in separating
the superior maxilla from each other.With no
disposition to assert that such a thing is utterly
impossible,yet,when taking into consideration the
anatomical relations existing between the two
halves of maxilla and other bones with which they
articulatesuch a result appears exceedingly
doubtful.

52. Conclusions:-
•Maximum lateral displacement was 5.313mm at node 12911.
•Pyramidal displacement of the maxilla was visible from the front
view.
•The width Of the nasal cavity increased markedly.
The inferior parts of the pterygoid plates were markedly displaced or
bent laterally,but minimal displacement was observed in the region
close to cranial base.

55. •Maximum negative Y-displacement(backward
displacement)was 1.1599 at node 2314 corresponding
to the posterior rim of the frontalprocess of the
zygomatic bone.
•Maximum positive Y-displacement(forward
displacement) was 1.077 at node6022,which represents
the anteroinferior border of the nasal septum.

56. •Maximum negative Z displacement(downward
displacement was 1.22 at node52,which represents the
posterior most portion of the nasal septum.
•Maximum positive Z displacement(upward displacement
1.758mm at node241 which represents body of the
zygomatic bone.
•Thus the nasomaxillary complex rotated such that the
lateral structures had moved upwards and midline
structures downwards.
•The anterior part of maxillary bone(point A)were
displaced downwards.

61. Indications Of Rapid Palatal Expansion:-
Occlusion
-Full cusp crossbite with skeletal component.
-Some degree of dental as well as skeletal component.
-No open bite tendency.
-No preexisting dental expansion.
Respiration
-Poor nasal airway
-Septal deformity
-Recurrent nasal ,sinus infection
-Asthama

62. Hazards Of RME:-
Oral Hygiene
Dislodgment and breakage
Tissue damage
Infection(Acute ulcerative gingivitis)
Failure of suture to open

66. (c) lsaacson type
This appliance uses a special spring loaded screw
called a Minne. Expander which is adapted and
soldered direct to the bands without the use of
acrylic, The screw may be reduced in length to suit
narrow arches by shortening the spring, tube and
rod.

71. Activation:-180º rotation /day(Ziebe)
Upto Age 15 years
-90º both morning and evening.
Age 15-20 years
-45º turns 4 times a day
Age over 20 years
- Same as above or 45º in the morning and 90º at night

72. In general,bony spicules appear at the age of 15
and 19 years(0.9% fo suture length),but these
bridges may be removed by osteoclast to suit
physiologic requirements.
A greater degree of obliteration occurs posteriorly
than anteriorly.
On average 5% of suture is closed by age 25.
(By Persson et al 1977)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
73. Age and prognosis:
Age 7 to 15:Good
Age 15 to 20:Good although recall every other day
To check opening of suture.
Age 20 to 30:Possible but daily recall necessary,
Danger that the suture does not open and there is
overloading of the posterior segment,ulceration of
mucosa.

74. Treatment timing for rapid maxillary expansion
(Angle orthodontist;2001)
The group treated before the pubertal peak,in the
long term,showed significantly greater maxillary skeletal
Width,maxillary intermolar width,lateronasal width and
Lateroorbital width
The late treated group exhibited significant increase in
Maxillary and mandibular intermolar width.(thus more
Dentoalveolar than skeletal)

87. *Correction of mouth breathing.
*Improvement of concentration.
*Mouthbreathing not influenced.
*Some improvement of nasal
breathing www.indiandentalacademy.com
116. Ultra-Rapid Expansion
•By Chaure….3mm of expansion was achieved in
one and half hour.
•Three visits.
•Anaesthesia is administered.
•Used by E.N.T. surgeons then.

121. The NiTi transpalatal loops has a transition temperature
of 94o
F. The martensitic transformation and superelastic
properties of the NiTi wires helped the insertion of the
expander into the lingual sheaths of prefitted maxillary
molar bands. Expansion occurs after insertion when the
appliance was warmed up to body temperature and the
NiTi loops return to its original shape. Over expansion
was built into the treatment to anticipate relapse
(approximately 30%) due to uprighting of the maxillary
molars after removal of appliance.

122. NiTi transpalatal loops were sprayed with
tetrafluoroethane refrigerant prior to
placement of the appliance.
