Abstract

Introduction: maxillary transverse deficiency is a fairly common condition affecting deciduous and mixed dentitions, so its diagnosis, planning and much more its complete treatment is a challenge.

Objective: to update the contents on the efficacy of mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion treatment (MARPE) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). 

Methods: an advanced search was carried out in Pubmed and Scielo databases with terms such as: (maxillary expansion) AND (tomography), (MARPE) AND (tomography), (palatal expansion technique) AND (tomography), (tomography) AND (Palatal Expansion Technique), (tomography) AND (maxillary expansion). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied: articles performed only in humans, between the years 2018-2022, in English and Spanish languages.

Development: as a protocol, the analysis of the midpalatal suture during the process of its rapid expansion of the palate used study models, two-dimensional images and nowadays three-dimensional images based on computed tomography are used.  The usefulness of cone beam computed tomography in the field of orthodontics and the new developments of informative programs already allow the three-dimensional and multiplanar reconstruction of individualized cases, building new possibilities in the diagnosis of the craniofacial complex. 

Conclusions: CT (CBCT) is a very effective tool in the diagnosis, planning and execution of mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE).
