Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) with maxillary atresia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of 27 paediatric patients evaluated through a Brazilian version of the SDSC, answered by their guardians at the following experimental time points: T0 (before installing the Hyrax expander), T1 (on the day of expander stabilization), T2 (3 months after expander stabilization), T3 (immediately after expander removal, following 6 months of retention), and T4 (3 months post-retention). Multilevel Poisson analysis adjusted for repeated measures was performed to compare outcomes across the assessment time points. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 9.1 years (SD = 1.46). The total SDSC scores decreased and were statistically significant from T2 onwards (P < .01), with a decrease of 24% at T4 compared with T1 (IRR 0.76; 95% CI 0.69-0.84). The mean scores at T4 were already lower than the cutoff point for risk of sleep disorders. Regarding the specific domains, there was a significant reduction in sleep breathing disorders, sleep-wake transition disorders, and disorders of excessive somnolence as of T2 (P < .01), T3 (P < .05) and T4 (P < .05), respectively. CONCLUSION RME in children with maxillary atresia had a positive effect on the reduction of total SDSC scores after 3 months of expander stabilization, sustained over 6 and 9 months and significant reduction in sleep breathing disorders domain, sleep-wake transition disorders domain, and disorders of excessive somnolence domain over time points.

Int Orthod 2023; 21:100813. [PMID: 37776697 DOI: 10.1016/j.ortho.2023.100813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various designs of mini-implants assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) appliances can impact treatment effectiveness through their biomechanical effects. The purpose of the study was to study the stress distribution and displacement with four different designs of the MARPE appliance on the craniofacial complex. METHODS A 3D finite element model of the craniofacial complex was created from CBCT DICOM data, comprising four distinct groups. Each group consisted of one 4-hole expansion screw positioned between the second premolar and first molar in all models. Group 1 used four single-cortical mini-implants (1.5×8mm) engaging only the palatal cortex. Group 2 employed four mini-implants (1.5×11mm) engaging both the palatal and nasal cortices. Group 3 had monocortical implants on the palatal slopes, while Group 4 was similar to group 3 with implants in the acrylic wings. Comparisons between groups were made for anchorage (groups 1 and 2), mini-implant position (groups 1 and 3) and surface effect (groups 3 and 4). Von Mises stresses and displacements at various skeletal and dental points were evaluated using ANSYS software. RESULTS The highest stresses were observed in the maxillary, pterygoid and zygomatic bones, as well as in the mid- palatal suture in all four groups. Downward and forward rotation of the craniofacial complex was noted. Group 2 showed greater skeletal expansion than group 1. Among groups 1 and 3, group 3 showed a better stress distribution. Group 4 showed less dentoalveolar rotation than group 3. CONCLUSIONS The MARPE appliances had an impact on the craniofacial complex with stresses on the mid-palatal suture, maxillary bone, pterygoid bones and anterior teeth. Clockwise rotation of the maxilla, zygomatic bones and dentition was noted, while the pterygoid bones and pterygoid suture were displaced backwards. MARPE with bicortical anchorage produces better skeletal expansion. Placing implants on the palatal slopes with acrylic wings results in better skeletal expansion with less clockwise rotation of the dentition.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the short-term effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the quality of life of children who had persistent snoring post-adenotonsillectomy (AT). METHODS The study included children with maxillary constriction aged 5 to 12 years, two or more years after AT whose parents/guardians reported that they still snored ≥ 5 nights per week. We enrolled children with sleep-disordered breathing, including children with primary snoring and children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). All patients underwent laryngeal nasofibroscopy and complete polysomnography. Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaire (OSA-18), the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ), Conners Abbreviated Scale (CAS), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were administered before and after RME. RESULTS Of 24 children enrolled, 13 had primary snoring and 11 had OSA. Overall OSA-18 scores were reduced in both groups (intragroup difference, p < 0.001). The PSQ total score, CAS, and ESS were significantly reduced in both groups (p < 0.001) In the evaluation of snoring, there was a reduction due to the treatment effect in both groups (p < 0.001). Daytime sleepiness and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders were also positively affected in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated the potential benefit of RME in treating children with persistent snoring and transverse maxillary deficiency (TMD). RME can improve snoring and the QOL of children with refractory SDB after AT. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: RBR-463byn.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective here was to review the efficacy of functional jaw orthopedic appliances for treating children/adolescents with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), through correlating the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen saturation (SaO2) in polysomnography (PSG), in addition to questionnaire scores from the obstructive sleep apnea-18 (OSA-18). METHODS The PRISMA 2020 guidelines1 were followed. A search was conducted in October 2021, with updating to May 2022, in the MEDLINE/PubMed, BVS (LILACS/BBO), ISI, SciELO (Web of Science), COCHRANE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and WHO databases and the gray literature. Data selection and extraction were performed by two independent reviewers, with Cohen kappa testing. All articles included in the meta-analyses showed good quality and low risk of bias. Statistical analyses were performed in the "R" software, using means with standard deviations, and differences in the means were represented graphically in forest plots. Heterogeneity was tested using I2, in random-effect models. RESULTS From before to after treatment, treated individuals showed improved AHI, SaO2 and OSA-18 scores2. Comparing treated individuals and controls, AHI decreased in treated individuals and increased in controls. For SaO2, the increase in treated individuals was greater than in controls. For OSA-18, daytime/nighttime symptoms decreased in treated individuals and increased in controls. CONCLUSION Functional jaw orthopedic appliances are appropriate and effective for children/adolescents with OSA whose etiology is deficient maxillomandibular growth and development. Functional jaw orthopedics treats the form and function of the stomatognathic system, thereby enhancing quality of life. PROSPERO REGISTRATION PROTOCOL CRD42021253341.

Abstract
Orthodontic treatment is suggested in growing individuals to correct transverse maxillary deficiency and mandibular retrusion. Since, as a secondary effect, these orthodontic procedures may improve pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this systematic review assessed their effects on apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen saturation (SaO2). Twenty-five (25) manuscripts were included for qualitative synthesis, 19 were selected for quantitative synthesis. Five interventions were analyzed: rapid maxillary expansion (RME, 15 studies), mandibular advancement (MAA, five studies), myofunctional therapy (MT, four studies), and RME combined with MAA (one study). RME produced a significant AHI reduction and minimum SaO2 increase immediately after active treatment, at six and 12 months from baseline. A significant AHI reduction was also observed six and 12 months after the beginning of MAA treatment. MT showed positive effects, with different protocols. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of data from mainly uncontrolled studies, interceptive orthodontic treatments showed overall favorable effects on respiratory outcomes in pediatric OSA. However, due to the low to very low level of the body evidence, this treatment cannot be suggested as elective for OSA treatment. An orthodontic indication is needed to support this therapy and a careful monitoring is required to ensure positive improvement in OSA parameters.

Abstract
This review aims to provide current knowledge about the efficacy, mechanism, and multidisciplinary collaboration of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a chronic disease characterized by progressively increasing upper airway resistance, with various symptoms and signs. Increasingly the evidence indicates that RME is a non-invasive and effective therapy option for children with OSA. Besides, the therapeutic mechanism of RME includes increasing upper airway volume, reducing nasal resistance, and changing tongue posture. Recent clinical researches and case reports also show that a multidisciplinary approach improves sleep-disordered breathing in children. Applied with adenotonsillectomy, mandibular advancement, continuous positive airway pressure, and comprehensive orthodontic treatment, RME can be more effective in recurrent or residual OSA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orthodontic treatment and adenotonsillectomy (AT) are both conventional treatments for paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Each approach has distinct treatment advantages; however, there is currently a lack of solid evidence to support their efficacy comparison. We hypothesise that the objective effect of orthodontic treatment is not inferior to AT in children with moderate OSA and mandibular retrognathia, but orthodontic treatment has the advantage of promoting dentofacial growth. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a randomised, open-label, parallel-group, active controlled trial that will study the efficacy of orthodontic treatment versus AT in children with moderate OSA accompanied by tonsillar adenoid hypertrophy and mandibular retrognathia. A total of 98 patients will be enrolled and randomised in a 2:1 ratio to either orthodontic treatment or AT group. Participants will be recruited at Shanghai Stomatological Hospital, Shanghai Children's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University and Children's Hospital of Fudan University, which are all located in Shanghai, China. The primary endpoint is the per cent change in the obstructive apnoea-hypopnoea index from baseline (month 0) to the primary endpoint (month 7), and the mean reduction in A point, nasion and B point angle on cephalometric measurements by lateral X-ray films. Important secondary efficacy endpoints include sleep duration with oxygen saturation below 90% according to polysomnography and subjective symptoms (assessed by the OSA-20 questionnaire), etc. Safety endpoints will also be evaluated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the ethics committees of Shanghai Stomatological Hospital (approval no. (2021)002), Shanghai Children's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University (approval no. 2021R046-F01) and Children's Hospital of Fudan University (approval no. (2021)136). Before enrolment, a qualified clinical research assistant will obtain written informed consent from both the participants and their guardians after full explanation of this study. The results will be presented at national or international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2000037288.

Abstract
Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to assess the volumetric changes in the nasal and pharyngeal airway volume in patients with maxillary transverse deficiency treated with miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliances.
Material and Methods:
The pre- and post-treatment cone-beam computed tomography scans of 20 subjects who underwent treatment with the MARPE appliance as part of their orthodontic treatment were included in the study. Pre- and post-expansion airway volume measurements of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and oropharynx were measured. Linear measurements of the skeletal structures surrounding the nasal cavity were taken to assess the pattern of airway expansion. Paired t-tests were used to evaluate nasal and pharyngeal airway volume changes with expansion. Pearson correlation test was utilized to assess the relationship between nasal and pharyngeal volume changes.
Results:
A total of 17 out of 20 samples had a successful split of the mid-palatal sutures. A significant increase in nasal airway volume (12.0%) was found post-expansion. In addition, a significant increase in linear measurements of the nasal cavity base width in the frontal plane (7.1%) and both the anterior and posterior widths in the transverse dimension (9.4% and 3.4%, respectively) were found. Significant positive correlations were found between airway volumes and increase in width of the maxillary expansion appliance.
Conclusion:
The effects of maxillary expansion with a MARPE appliance include an increase in nasal cavity volume, but not the nasopharyngeal and the oropharyngeal airway volume. The nasal cavity expands in a triangular pattern in both the frontal and transverse dimensions following orthopedic expansion with the MARPE appliance. Increase in airway volume is a result of the increase in width of the maxillary expansion appliance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion (DOME) is an emerging surgical concept for obstructive sleep apnea patients presenting with nasal obstruction, with a high-arched and narrow hard palate. We demonstrate the feasibility of DOME in the treatment of patients with persistent nasal obstruction after primary septoplasty. METHODS A total of 32 consecutive patients with persistent nasal obstruction after septoplasty who underwent DOME were enrolled in this study. The efficacy of DOME in treating persistent nasal obstruction in septoplasty failure patients was evaluated by using the validated Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale. Pre- and postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were performed to measure the change of nasal floor width after surgery. RESULTS The NOSE score significantly improved from 13.62±4.74 to 5.15±3.50 (p<0.001) after DOME. The postoperative CT scan showed a significant increase of the nasal floor width from 22.4±4.21 to 28.06±4.52 (p<0.01). No patient experienced major complications, such as wound infection, oronasal fistula, sinusitis, loss of incisor teeth, and malunion. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that DOME appears to improve persistent nasal obstruction after septoplasty in patients with narrow and high-arched hard palate. This article is protected by copyright.

Saudi Dent J 2021; 33:424-433. [PMID: 34803282 PMCID: PMC8589585 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2021.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this article is to review the role of the dentist in the early diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to provide an in-depth review of the best evidence-based practices available to treat and/or to refer these patients for intervention. Material and methods A narrative review was performed using indexed data bases (PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, OVID, Scopus and Cochrane) up to year 2020, and approximately 1000 articles were reviewed. The articles included were those with the best information provided. Results Detailed review of the literature suggests that the role of the dentist has been redefined owing to their expertise in the orofacial region. Every patient consulting a dental practice is not merely a dental patient; he/she also requires a comprehensive medical review. The role of the dentist is pivotal in pediatric patients once diagnosed with OSA; as the patients grow, growth modification can be achieved, and future management will be easier. Initiating dental treatments during growth can benefit patients two-fold, saving them from malocclusion, and intervening in orofacial structural growth can help to avoid cumbersome treatments, such as CPAP and various surgeries. Proper diagnosis and management of systemic illnesses can prevent compromised quality of life, delays in treatment, morbidity and, in some cases, mortality.

Abstract
Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at high risk for developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to children without DS. The negative impact of OSA on health, behavior, and cognitive development in children with DS highlights the importance of timely and effective treatment. Due to the higher prevalence of craniofacial and airway abnormalities, obesity, and hypotonia in patients with DS, residual OSA can still occur after exhausting first-line options. While treatment commonly includes adenotonsillectomy (AT) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, additional therapy such as medical management and/or adjuvant surgical procedures need to be considered in refractory OSA. Given the significant comorbidities secondary to untreated OSA in children with DS, such as cardiovascular and neurobehavioral consequences, more robust randomized trials in this patient population are needed to produce treatment guidelines separate from those for the general pediatric population of otherwise healthy children with OSA. Further studies are also needed to look at desensitization and optimization of CPAP use in patients with DS and OSA.

Abstract
Precision medicine requires coordinated and integrated evidence-based combinatorial approaches so that diagnosis and treatment can be tailored to the individual patient. In this context, the treatment approach to mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is fraught with substantial debate as to what is mild OSA, and as to what constitutes appropriate treatment. As such, it is necessary to first establish a proposed consensus of what criteria need to be employed to reach the diagnosis of mild OSA, and then examine the circumstances under which treatment is indicated, and if so, whether and when anti-inflammatory therapy (AIT), rapid maxillary expansion (RME), and/or myofunctional therapy (MFT) may be indicated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the changes in respiratory function and dimensions of the nasomaxillary complex (NMC) and upper airway (UA) compartments after nasomaxillary skeletal expansion (NMSE) treatment for pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS Nonobese OSA patients (mean age, 13.6 ± 2.9 years; mean body mass index, 18.1 ± 3.0 kg/m2); mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI, 7.0 ± 5.4 events/h) presenting with transverse nasomaxillary constriction were evaluated before and after NMSE using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), home sleep test, and modified pediatric sleep questionnaire (m-PSQ). Paired t tests were performed to examine the treatment-related changes in all the parameters, and a multiple regression analysis adjusted for age and sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns was conducted to determine the dimensional parameters to affect the functional improvement. RESULTS Among 26 patients, NMSE treatment significantly increased NMC dimensions at all tested levels and all UA compartments in CBCT, except glossopharyngeal airway. Concurrently, AHI, oxygen desaturation index, the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2), flow limitation (FL), snoring, and m-PSQ were significantly improved. AHI reduction was correlated with UA enlargement with no correlation with NMC expansion, whereas FL reduction was affected by NMC expansion. The minimal cross-sectional area was the most predictive of functional improvement, presenting correlations with AHI, LSaO2, and m-PSQ. CONCLUSION NMSE can be a good treatment for pediatric OSA patients when applied to enhance the nasal and pharyngeal airway patencies beyond the NMC, ultimately to improve pharyngeal collapsibility as well as nasal airflow.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess three rapid maxillary expansion (RME) appliances in nasal ventilation. TRIAL DESIGN Three-arm parallel randomized clinical trial. METHODS Sixty-six growing subjects (10-16 years old) needing RME as part of their orthodontic treatment were randomly allocated (1:1:1 ratio) to three groups of 22 patients receiving Hyrax (H), Hybrid-Hyrax (HH), or Keles keyless expander (K). The primary outcome of nasal ventilation (pressure and velocity) and secondary outcomes (skeletal, dental, soft tissue, and nasal obstruction changes) were blindly assessed on the initial (T0) and final (T1, 6 months at appliance removal) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data by applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Differences across groups were assessed with crude and adjusted for baseline values and confounders (gender, age, skeletal maturation, expansion amount, mucosal/adenoid hypertrophy, nasal septum deviation) regression models with alpha = 5%. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were analysed (19H, 21HH, 14K). RME reduced both nasal pressure (H: -45.8%, HH: -75.5%, K: -63.2%) and velocity (H: -30%, HH: -58.5%, K: -35%) accompanied with nasal obstruction resolution (H: 26%, HH: 62%, K: 50%). Regressions accounting for baseline severity indicated HH expander performing better in terms of post-expansion maximum velocity (P = 0.03) and nasal obstruction resolution (P = 0.04), which was robust to confounders. Mucosal/adenoid hypertrophy and nasal septum deviation changes were variable, minimal, and similar across groups. The HH resulted in significantly greater increase in the nasal cross-sectional area (62.3%), anterior (14.6%), and posterior (10.5%) nasal widths. Nasal obstruction resolution was more probable among younger (P = 0.04), skeletally immature (P = 0.03), and male patients (P = 0.02) without pre-treatment mucosal hypertrophy (P = 0.04), while HH was associated with marginal greater probability for obstruction resolution. CONCLUSIONS RME resulted in improvement of nasal skeletal parameters and simulated ventilation with the former being in favour of the HH and the latter not showing significant differences among the three appliances. LIMITATION Attrition in the K group due to blocked activation rods possibly leading to limited sample to identify any existing group differences. HARMS Replacement of blocked Keles expanders for finalizing treatment. PROTOCOL The protocol was not published before the trial commencement.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The implementation of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy to treat obstructive sleep apnea in children is a complex process. PAP therapy data are highly heterogeneous in pediatrics, and the clinical management cannot be generalized. We hypothesize that pediatric PAP users can be subgrouped via clustering analysis to guide tailored interventions. METHODS PAP therapy data for 250 children with obstructive sleep apnea were retrospectively examined using unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis based on (1) PAP tolerance (average hours on days used) and (2) consistency of PAP use (percentage of days used). Clinical features in each cluster were defined, and a tree decision analysis was generated for clinical implementation. RESULTS We were able to subclassify all 250 children (median age = 11.5 years) into five clusters: A (13.6%), B (29.6%), C (17.6%), D (16.4%), and E (22.8%). The clusters showed significant differences in PAP use patterns (Kruskal-Wallis P value < 1e-16). The most consistent PAP use patterns were seen in clusters A, B, and C. Major differences across clusters included the prevalence of obesity, PAP setting, developmental delay, and adenotonsillectomy. We also identified important differences in mask acceptance, OSA severity, and individual responses to PAP therapy based on objective apnea-hypopnea reductions in PAP downloads. CONCLUSIONS A simple method to subset PAP use patterns in children can be implemented by analyzing cloud-based PAP therapy data. This novel approach may contribute to optimization of PAP therapy in children of all ages based on real-world evidence at the individual level.

Abstract
Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common condition in childhood and if left untreated can result in many health problems. An accurate diagnosis of the etiology is crucial for obstructive sleep apnea treatment success. Functional orthodontic appliances that stimulate mandibular growth by forward mandibular positioning are an alternative therapeutic option in growing patients. Objective To perform a literature review about the effects of functional orthodontic appliances used to correct the mandibular deficiency in obstructive sleep apnea treatment. Methods The literature search was conducted in June 2020 using Cochrane Library; PubMed, EBSCO (Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source), LILACS Ovid; SciELO Web of Science; EMBASE Bireme and BBO Bireme electronic databases. The search included papers published in English, until June 2020, whose methodology referred to the types and effects of functional orthopedic appliances on obstructive sleep apnea treatment in children. Results The search strategy identified thirteen articles; only four articles were randomized clinical studies. All studies using the oral appliances or functional orthopedic appliances for obstructive sleep apnea in children resulted in improvements in the apnea-hypopnea index score. The cephalometric (2D) and tomographic (3D) evaluations revealed enlargement of the upper airway and increase in the upper airspace, improving the respiratory function in the short term. Conclusion Functional appliances may be an alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, but it cannot be concluded that they are effective in treating pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. There are significant deficiencies in the existing evidence, mainly due to absence of control groups, small sample sizes, lack of randomization and no long-term results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this research was to compare the oropharyngeal volume and minimal cross-sectional area (MCA) changes after maxillary expansion using either the Damon system or Hyrax appliances as assessed through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. METHODS Patients aged between 11 and 17 years with skeletal maxillary transverse discrepancy in need of maxillary expansion were included and allocated randomly into 1 of the 2 treatment groups, Damon or Hyrax. Patients underwent CBCT imaging at 2 time points: T1, after initial clinical evaluation before treatment, and T2, after completion of full orthodontic treatment. The CBCT data were assessed using Dolphin software (Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif). In addition, a qualitative assessment of breathing function was done using the modified Nasal Obstruction and Septoplasty Effectiveness Scale questionnaire. RESULTS A statistically significant increase in the oropharyngeal volume (2.23 mL; P = 0.005) and MCA (29.72 mm2; P = 0.007) after the completion of treatment (T2 - T1) for the Hyrax group was suggested. No statistically significant difference was found in the Damon group for volume (1 mL; P = 0.311) and for MCA (7.32 mm2; P = 0.643). In addition, no statistically significant difference was found in the breathing function in both treatment groups (P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Hyrax expansion followed by fixed appliances produced more dimensional upper airway changes at the oropharyngeal level than the Damon system approach. No breathing functional changes were noted in either samples.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of the present study was to compare the maxillary dental and skeletal effects after treatment with self-ligating appliance and miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE). METHODS The sample comprised 37 patients with Class I malocclusion treated without tooth extraction, divided into 2 groups: group 1 comprises 21 patients with a mean age of 19.55 years (standard deviation = 1.31), submitted to orthodontic treatment with Damon self-ligating appliance, and evaluated until the end of the alignment and leveling stage. Group 2 comprises 16 patients with a mean age of 24.92 years (standard deviation = 7.60), with maxillary atresia, who underwent MARPE, and were evaluated after the removal of the expander. Buccal bone thickness; dental inclinations; and transverse distances of the maxillary arch, nasal base, and jugula widths were measured on cone-beam computed tomography scans before and after treatment. The intergroup comparison was performed with the independent t test. RESULTS With treatment, there was a significantly greater decrease in buccal bone thickness of canines and premolars in the self-ligating group, the premolars presented a greater buccal inclination in the self-ligating group, and the intercanine and intermolar distances and nasal base and jugula widths showed significantly greater increases in the MARPE group than in the self-ligating group. CONCLUSIONS MARPE treated more severe skeletal transverse maxillary discrepancies and obtained better results than self-ligating appliances in terms of buccal bone loss, tooth inclination, and transverse skeletal increase of the maxilla. MARPE presented more skeletal effects and self-ligating appliances, more dental effects.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and its association with malocclusion among children in Recife, Brazil. METHODS This study included 390 children aged 7 to 8 years. The data comprised the measurement of body mass, orthodontic examination, and parental information required by the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children. The statistics tools used were Pearson's chi-square test and the Lemeshow test. RESULTS Positively screened for SDB was found in 33.3% of the children, and the association with overjet was P = .007 (odds ratio [OR], 95%, confidence interval [CI]: 1.93). The association with anterior open bite was P = .008 (OR, 95% CI: 2.03), and the association with posterior crossbite was P = .001 (OR, 95% CI: 2.89). This report was unable to indicate an association between body mass index and SDB. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that the anterior open bite (P = .002; OR, 95% CI: 2.34) and posterior crossbite (P = .014; OR, 95% CI: 2.79) had an association with positively screened for SDB. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicated that the prevalence of SDB was high and highly associated with malocclusion. Since posterior crossbite and anterior open bite were associated with positively screened for SDB, early diagnosis and intervention may prevent and minimize adverse effects of SDB on individuals lives.

Abstract
Background Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a multifactorial syndrome caused by many risk factors, such as craniofacial anomalies, adenotonsillar hypertrophy, obesity, and airway inflammation. Although new treatment patterns have recently been proposed, treatment methods for children remain particularly challenging and controversial. This randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate the efficacy of adenotonsillectomy and/or orthodontic treatment for children who have mild OSAHS with mandibular retrognathia. Methods A sample of 352 children with mild OSAHS and mandibular retrognathia, who are aged between 7 and 10 years, will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into four groups: the drug treatment group, the surgical treatment group, the orthodontic treatment group, or the surgery and postoperative orthodontic group. After randomization the children will receive treatments within 4 weeks. Outcome assessment will take place at the following points: (1) baseline, (2) 7 months after the treatment starting point, (3) 12 months after the treatment starting point, and (4) 24 months after the treatment starting point. The primary endpoint of the trial is the mean change in obstructive apnea/hypopnea index. Other endpoints will consist of the lowest oxygen saturation, apnea index, and hypopnea index assessed by polysomnography, subjective symptoms (assessed by the OSA-20 questionnaire), cephalometric measurements, and morphologic analysis of the upper airway. Discussion The results of this study will provide valuable evidence for the merits and long-term efficacy of different treatment approaches and contribute to facilitating the multidisciplinary treatment of pediatric OSAHS. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03451318. Registered on 2 March 2018 (last update posted 19 April 2018).

Abstract
Treatment approaches to pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have remarkably evolved over the last two decades. From an a priori assumption that surgical removal of enlarged upper airway lymphadenoid tissues (T&A) was curative in the vast majority of patients as the recommended first-line treatment for pediatric OSA, residual respiratory abnormalities are frequent. Children likely to manifest persistent OSA after T&A include those with severe OSA, obese or older children, those with concurrent asthma or allergic rhinitis, children with predisposing oropharyngeal or maxillomandibular factors, and patients with underlying medical conditions. Furthermore, selection anti-inflammatory therapy or orthodontic interventions may be preferable in milder cases. The treatment options for residual OSA after T&A encompass a large spectrum of approaches, which may be complementary, and clearly require multidisciplinary cooperation. Among these, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), combined anti-inflammatory agents, rapid maxillary expansion, and myofunctional therapy are all part of the armamentarium, albeit with currently low-grade evidence supporting their efficacy. In this context, there is urgent need for prospective evidence that will readily identify the correct candidate for a specific intervention, and thus enable some degree of scientifically based precision in the current one approach fits all model of pediatric OSA medical care.

Abstract
The effect of maxillary skeletal expansion (MSE) on upper airway in adolescent patients is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the upper airway airflow with MSE treatment using computational fluid dynamics analysis. Three-dimensional upper airway finite element models fabricated from cone beam computed tomography images were obtained before and after treatment in an adolescent patient with maxillary constriction. Turbulent analyses were applied. The nasal cavity (NC) was divided into 6 planes along the y-axis and the pharynx was divided into 7 planes in the z-axis. Changes in cross-sectional area, airflow velocity, pressure, and total resistance at maximum expiration and maximum inspiration were determined at each plane after MSE treatment. The greatest increase in area occurred in the oropharynx which was around 40.65%. The average increase in area was 7.42% in the NC and 22.04% in the pharynx. The middle part of pharynx showed the greatest increase of 212.81 mm and 217.99 mm or 36.58% and 40.66%, respectively. During both inspiration and expiration, airflow pressure decreased in both the NC and pharynx, which ranged from -11.34% to -23.68%. In the NC, the average velocity decrease was -0.18 m/s at maximum expiration (ME) and -0.13 m/s at maximum inspiration (MI). In the pharynx, the average velocity decrease was -0.07 m/s for both ME and MI. These results suggest that treatment of maxillary constriction using MSE appliance may show positive effects in improvement of upper airway cross-sectional areas and reduction of upper airway resistance and velocity.

Abstract
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are effective treatments for children with severe sleep disordered breathing (SBD). However, some patients may present too severe SDB that do not respond to NIV/CPAP or insufficient compliance to treatment. A careful revaluation of the interface and of ventilator settings should be performed before considering alternative treatments. In patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), alternatives to CPAP/NIV rely on the underlying disease. Ear-nose-throat (ENT) surgery such as adeno-tonsillectomy (AT), turbinectomy or supraglottoplasty represent an effective treatment in selected patients before starting CPAP/NIV and should be reconsidered in case of CPAP failure. Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is restricted to children with OSA and a narrow palate who have little adenotonsillar tissue, or for those with residual OSA after AT. Weight loss is the first line therapy for obese children with OSA before starting CPAP and should remain a priority in the long-term. Selected patients may benefit from maxillo-facial surgery such as mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) or from neurosurgery procedures like fronto-facial monobloc advancement. Nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) or high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) may constitute efficient alternatives to CPAP in selected patients. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation has been proposed in children with Down syndrome not tolerant to CPAP. Ultimately, tracheostomy represents the unique alternative in case of failure of all the above-mentioned treatments. All these treatments require a multidisciplinary approach with a personalized treatment tailored on the different diseases and sites of obstruction. In patients with neuromuscular, neurological or lung disorders, non-invasive management in case of NIV failure is more challenging. Diaphragmatic pacing has been proposed for some patients with central congenital hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) or neurological disorders, however its experience in children is limited. Finally, invasive ventilation via tracheotomy represents again the ultimate alternative for children with severe disease and little or no ventilatory autonomy. However, ethical considerations weighting the efficacy against the burden of this treatment should be discussed before choosing this last option.

Abstract
Through his/her knowledge of cranio-facial growth, the orthodontist plays a leading role within the multidisciplinary team that tracks and treats sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. Correction of craniofacial risk factors (maxillary deficiency and retrognathia) is commonly used by practitioners alongside orthodontic treatment such as OMA and RME in the optimal conditions afforded by childhood growth. Myofunctional therapies are performed to restore correct stomatognathic function and play a central role in the management of SDB in children. The orthodontist is therefore a key player in the medical treatment chain of these children.

Abstract
Background Changes produced in the upper airway after rapid maxillary expansion makes this procedure a therapeutic option for treating sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) in children. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the evidence available for the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on SAHS, analyzing changes produced in oximetric variables: apnea-hypopnea index (AHI); oxygen saturation (SO2); sleep efficiency (SE), total sleep time (TST), percentage of rapid eye movement (REM) phase; and arousal index (AI). Material and Methods An electronic search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane databases, and in grey literature (Opengrey). No limit was placed on publication date or language. Inclusion criteria were: patients in growth with sleep apnea who underwent rapid maxillary expansion with oximetric values registered before and after treatment. Articles with patient sample sizes <10 were excluded. Ten articles were included for qualitative synthesis and nine for meta-analysis (eliminating one observational study). Results AHI values underwent a mean reduction of 5.79 events/hour (CI -95% 9.06 to 2.5); an increase in mean oxygen saturation of 2.54 % (CI-95% -0.28 to 4.80, 6.7 %); a reduction in AI of 2.17 events/hour (CI-95% -5.25 to -0.582); an increase in REM phase of 1.20 % (CI-95% 1.02 to 1.38); and an increase in SE of 0.961% (CI-95% -1.574 to 3.495). Conclusions RME would appear efficient for treating slight or moderate SAHS, as indicated by improvement in oximetric parameters; it may be effective as coadjuvant therapy to adenotonsillectomy in severe cases of children with maxillary compression. Key words:Rapid maxillary expansion, obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the dimensions of the upper and lower arches in children affected by OSAS with different levels of severity of obstruction.Methods: Twenty-seven Caucasian children (14 males, 13 females; mean age 6, range 5.2-6.1 years) with a diagnosis of OSAS determined by polysomnography were enrolled in this study. The dimensions of both dental arches were measured, and the data were compared among children affected by severe, moderate, and mild OSAS.Results: Statistically significant differences among the three groups revealed that children with severe OSAS had the highest values of upper intercanine and intermolar distances in the sample.Discussion: A severe OSAS grade (AHI > 10) is associated with statistically significantly higher upper intercanine and intermolar distances compared with mild and moderate grades. An early approach to OSAS in children with late primary dentition is auspicated in order to prevent an influence on dental arches growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to assess the transverse skeletal effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in pre and post-pubertal subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five databases were searched till May 2018; Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, Lilacs and Web of science in addition to the manual search of other sources. There were no language restrictions. Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies MINORS was used to assess the quality and risk of bias of the trials included. RESULTS Six studies were finally included in the qualitative analysis. A meta-analysis wasn't performed due to the heterogeneity of methodologies and outcomes. All of the included studies showed drawbacks in their structure yielding weak evidence. On the short term, RME caused an increase in the maxillary and lateral-nasal widths in pre-pubertal subjects by 3.4 mm and 3.3 mm, and by 2.8 and 2.2 mm respectively in post-pubertal subjects. Although statistically insignificant, the maxillary width increase was more than that of the post-pubertal subjects by 0.6 mm. Over the long term, expansion produced permanent increases in the transverse dimensions of both the dento-alveolar and skeletal components of the maxilla and circum-maxillary structures in pre-pubertal subjects. The post-pubertal subjects presented with a statistically significant increase only in the later-nasal width by 1.3 mm than the untreated controls with no permanent increase in the skeletal maxillary width. CONCLUSION The literature is very deficient regarding the use of skeletal age as a reference in the treatment of skeletal crossbites using RME. Only weak evidence exists supporting the increased maxillary and lateral-nasal widths after tooth-tissue borne RME in pre-pubertal subjects, with these effects being less in the post-pubertal ones.

Abstract
The objective of this review was to evaluate the effect of mandibular advancement appliances (MAAs) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. To this end, several electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library) were systematically searched until 18 June 2018. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials were included. Articles of high-quality were included for the meta-analysis. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted by two independent reviewers. Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and three non-RCTs were finally included in the review; of these, two RCTs of high-quality were included in the meta-analysis. The mean difference in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) change for mandibular advancement group compared with control group was -1.75 events/h (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.07, -1.44), p < 0.00001. Sensitivity analysis including the quasi-randomized RCT and non-RCTs showed stable favorable results for MAAs. The meta-analysis showed supportive evidence for MAA treatment in pediatric OSA patients. Subgroup analysis suggested that MAA can be effective for mild to severe patients before the end of the pubertal peak. Long-term treatment (at least six months) may be more effective than short-term treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the skeletal effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) therapy performed using teeth as anchors, in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) children, by low-dose computed tomography (CT) of the midpalatal suture opening, maxillary base width, nasal cavities width, first molar angulation and, unlike most studies in the literature, on the pterygoid processes distance. METHODS Fourteen children (mean age 8.68 years) with OSA presenting a malocclusion characterized by upper-jaw contraction had 16-Multislice CT (MSCT) scans taken before (T0) and after (T1) RME. All exams were performed using a rigid protocol to ensure reproducibility of image collection over time, with a 16-row MSCT scanner equipped with a Dentascan reconstruction program. Scanning parameters were as follows: scout view in the anteroposterior (AP) and laterolateral (LL); 1.25-mm slice thickness with 0.6-mm collimation from the dentoalveolar and basal areas of the maxilla up to the nasal cavity, parallel to the palatal plane; 80 kV, 100 mA with an 11.25-mm table speed/rotation, rotation time 0.6 s. Matrix size was 512 × 512. RESULTS Opening of the midpalatal suture was demonstrated in all cases. The results showed statistically significant T0 to T1 increments in all treated cases and clear imaging findings. CONCLUSION Use of three-dimensional (3D)-CT for follow-up studies requires a very rigid protocol to maintain reproducible positions in the scanner over time. The images confirm the real remodeling of craniofacial structure. However, to be valid such an imaging approach needs great attention to reproducibility of anatomic images over time. The changes in volume of the UA, even with a rigid protocol, cannot be affirmed with 3D-CT. There is a need to improve the definition of markers using this imaging approach when performing longitudinal studies; currently this issue is unresolved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in maxillary width and upper airway spaces in young adults with maxillary transverse deficiency (MTD) after surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion combined with surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy. STUDY DESIGN Twenty patients (11 males, 9 females; mean age 25.1 ± 6.3 years) with maxillary transverse deficiency were recruited. An expander was placed on the premolars and first molars. Cone beam computed tomography was performed before treatment and after a 3-month retention period. Measurements were done on the basis of the cone beam computed tomography images by using Dolphin Imaging 3-D software. The paired sample t test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The intermolar width and the buccal tipping of the upper first molars exhibited significant increase (P < .001). The volume and the minimum cross-sectional area (MCA) increased significantly (P < .05). The right-left diameter of MCA increased from 21.15 to 25.48mm (P < .001), whereas the anterior-posterior diameter of MCA did not change significantly (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Widening of transverse maxillary deficiency after surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion with surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy improves upper airway spaces in young adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of an outpatient surgical procedure known as endoscopically-assisted surgical expansion (EASE) in expanding the maxilla to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adolescent and adults. METHODS Thirty-three patients (18 males), aged 15-61 years, underwent EASE of the maxilla. All patients completed pre- and post-operative clinical evaluations, polysomnography, questionnaires (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS] and Nasal Obstruction Septoplasty Questionnaire [NOSE]) as well as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). RESULTS With EASE, the overall apnea hypopnea index (AHI) improved from 31.6 ± 11.3 to 10.1 ± 6.3. The oxygen desaturation index (ODI) improved from 11.8 ± 9.6 to 1.8 ± 3.7, with reduction of ESS scores from 13.4 ± 4.0 to 6.7 ± 3.1. Nasal breathing improved as demonstrated by reduction of the NOSE scores from 57.8 ± 12.9 to 15.6 ± 5.7. Expansion of the airway from widening of the nasal floor was consistently evident on all postoperative CBCT; the anterior nasal floor expanded 4.9 ± 1.2 mm, posterior nasal floor expanded 5.6 ± 1.2 mm, and the dental diastema created was 2.3 ± 0.8 mm. Mean operative time was 54.0 ± 6.0 min. All patients with mild to moderate OSA were discharged the same day; patients with severe OSA were observed overnight. All patients returned to school or work and regular activities within three days. CONCLUSIONS EASE is an outpatient procedure that improves nasal breathing and OSA by widening the nasal floor in adolescents and adults. Compared to current surgical approaches for maxillary expansion, EASE is considerably less invasive and consistently achieves enlargement of the airway with minimal complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence of malocclusions in 2- to 10-year-old children suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and to evaluate the association between occlusal variables and OSA. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A total of 2101 consecutive patients referred to an otorhinolaryngology unit were considered for the study. One hundred and fifty-six children (range 2-10 years) with suspected OSA were selected for a sleep study. The final sample consisted of 139 children suffering from OSA and a control group of 137 children. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients included in the study underwent a clinical orthodontic examination to record the following occlusal variables: primary canine relationship, presence of a posterior crossbite, overjet and overbite. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, comparing the demographic characteristics and dental parameters in OSA vs non-OSA children, were computed. Multivariable logistic regression models were developed to compare independent variables associated with OSA to non-OSA children. RESULTS The prevalence of malocclusions in children with OSA was 89.9% compared to 60.6% in the control group (P < 0.001). Factors independently associated with OSA compared to the control group were posterior crossbite (OR = 3.38; 95%CI:1.73-6.58), reduced overbite (OR = 2.43; 95%CI:1.15-5.15.), increased overbite (OR = 2.19; 95%CI:1.12-4.28) and increased overjet (OR = 4.25; 95%CI:1.90-9.48). CONCLUSIONS This study showed a high prevalence of malocclusion in children with OSA compared to the control group. The posterior crossbite and deviations in overjet and overbite were significantly associated with OSA. The presence of these occlusal features shows the importance of an orthodontic evaluation in screening for paediatric OSA.

Abstract
This case report involves a 10-yr-old boy diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 who underwent nighttime mechanical ventilation with bilevel positive airway pressure. The oral examination revealed restricted mouth opening, lip interposition, dental crowding, and maxillary compression. After maxillary expansion, the upper airway volume increased 18.6%; 13 episodes of airway infections (20 days of hospitalization) were recorded in the 2 yrs before the maxillary expansion and only 4 episodes (no hospital admissions) in the 2 subsequent years. In conclusion, maxillary expansion in children with systemic disease that involves respiratory impairment may, in some cases, provide functional and clinical improvements, increase upper airway airflows, and possibly decrease the number of respiratory infections.

Abstract
No agreement exists on the most appropriate timing of orthodontic treatment in patients with cleft lip and palate. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of early orthodontic treatment on development of the dental arches and alveolar bone.A dental casts analysis was performed on 28 children with cleft lip and palate before orthodontic treatment (T0; mean age, 6.5 ± 1.7) and at the end of active treatment (T1; mean age, 9.2 ± 2.1 years). The considered variables were: intercanine and intermolar distances; dental arch relationships, evaluated according to the modified Huddart/Bodenham system.The study group was divided into 2 samples according to the age at T0: Group A (age < 6 years) and Group B (age ≥ 6 years). A statistical comparison of the treatment effects between the 2 samples was performed.Patients in Group A exhibited a greater increase of intercanine distance (8 mm versus 2.7 mm; P<0.001), intermolar distance (7.2 mm versus 5 mm; P = 0.06), and Huddart/Bodenham score (7.1 versus 3; P < 0.05) when compared with patients in Group B.Early orthodontic treatment strongly improved the dental arch relationship, since subjects starting the therapy before the age of 6 had a better response in terms of anterior maxillary expansion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of intraoral appliances (IOA), maxillary expansion (ME), and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) in the treatment of children and adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not yet been adequately assessed. METHODS An umbrella review was performed based on established guidelines for evidence-based medicine. Data synthesis was performed only from randomized controlled trials with Paule-Mandel random-effects meta-analyses / meta-regressions using mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and was followed by the qualitative evaluation of the meta-evidence. RESULTS 29 systematic reviews were included, 7 of which provided quantitative data. IOA were effective in improving apnea hypopnea index (AHI) compared to both, placebo appliances (12 trials; 525 patients; MD = -11.70; 95% CI: [-15.38; -8.01]; p<0.001) and no treatment (1 trial; 24 patients; MD = -14.30; [-21.59; -7.01]; p<0.001). Only the former comparison was supported by robust meta-evidence. Effectiveness of IOA as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, on the other hand, was not supported by robust meta-evidence. No randomized or prospective controlled trials were found on the effectiveness of ME (conventional or surgically assisted) and MMA. CONCLUSION Intraoral appliances are effective in reducing AHI and their use is substantiated by robust evidence. There is no evidence from high-quality research to support treatment with ME (conventional or surgically assisted) or MMA in patients with OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate changes in the volume and cross-sectional area of the nasal airway before and 1 year after nonsurgical miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARME) in young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen patients (mean age, 22.7 years; 10 women, four men) with a transverse discrepancy who underwent cone beam computed tomography before (T0), immediately after (T1), and 1 year after (T2) expansion were retrospectively included in this study. The volume of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx and the cross-sectional area of the anterior, middle, and posterior segments of the nasal airway were measured and compared among the three timepoints using paired t-tests. RESULTS The volume of the nasal cavity showed a significant increase at T1 and T2 ( P < .05), while that of the nasopharynx increased only at T2 ( P < .05). The anterior and middle cross-sectional areas significantly increased at T1 and T2 ( P < .05), while the posterior cross-sectional area showed no significant change throughout the observation period ( P > .05). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that the volume and cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity increased after MARME and were maintained at 1 year after expansion. Therefore, MARME may be helpful in expanding the nasal airway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maxillary transverse deficiency is a highly prevalent malocclusion present in all age groups, from primary to permanent dentition. If not treated on time, it can aggravate and evolve to a more complex malocclusion, hindering facial growth and development. Aside from the occlusal consequences, the deficiency can bring about serious respiratory problems as well, due to the consequent nasal constriction usually associated. In growing patients, this condition can be easily handled with a conventional rapid palatal expansion. However, mature patients are frequently subjected to a more invasive procedure, the surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE). More recently, researches have demonstrated that it is possible to expand the maxilla in grown patients without performing osteotomies, but using microimplants anchorage instead. This novel technique is called microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). OBJECTIVE The aim of the present article was to demonstrate and discuss a MARPE technique developed by Dr. Won Moon and colleagues at University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA). METHODS All laboratory and clinical steps needed for its correct execution are thoroughly described. For better comprehension, a mature patient case is reported, detailing all the treatment progress and results obtained. CONCLUSION It was concluded that the demonstrated technique could be an interesting alternative to SARPE in the majority of non-growing patients with maxillary transverse deficiency. The present patient showed important occlusal and respiratory benefits following the procedure, without requiring any surgical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of semi-rapid maxillary expansion (SRME) orthodontic treatment on biomarkers and respiratory parameters in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and maxillary transverse deficiency. METHODS Thirty children with OSAS were included in this study. Fifteen children were enrolled as control, and 15 children were subjected to SRME orthodontic treatment method for 5 months. Beside respiratory parameters, pharyngeal area, dental arch, and postero-anterior widths and the levels of OSAS biomarkers in serum and urine were measured. RESULTS Pharyngeal airway space, dental arch, and postero-anterior widths were increased after SRME treatment. Sleep tests showed a decrease in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) after 5-month control/treatment duration. Serum kallikrein (KLK)1 levels decreased significantly in the treatment group. There was a significant increase in serum orosomucoid (ORM)2 levels and a decrease in urine perlecan levels in the control group after a 5-month follow-up. A significant negative correlation between serum ORM2, perlecan, gelsolin, and KLK1 levels and intercanin width, as well as between serum ORM2 and KLK1 levels and intermolar width, was observed. CONCLUSIONS SRME treatment can be considered as a useful approach in children with OSAS. A further investigation of OSAS-related biomarkers and their relationship with sleep and orthodontic parameters is needed for providing easier and reliable modulatory strategies in the treatment of OSAS.

Abstract
Screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with in-laboratory polysomnography is recommended for children with sleep disordered breathing. Adenotonsillectomy is the first-line therapy for pediatric OSA, although intranasal steroids and montelukast can be considered for those with mild OSA and continuous positive airway pressure for those with moderate to severe OSA awaiting surgery, poor surgical candidates or persistent OSA. Bony or soft tissue upper airway surgery is reasonable for children failing medical management or those with persistent OSA following adenotonsillectomy. Weight loss and oral appliance therapy are also useful. A multi-modality approach to diagnosis and treatment is preferred.
