Mini screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) Application and Impact Evaluation Review

Abstract

Abstract: A maxillary transverse deficit is one of the most frequent craniofacial issues. Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) has historically been recommended for the treatment of children and early adolescents. However, due to the ossification of facial sutures, this procedure is inappropriate for late teens or adults. The surgical method known as surgically aided rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) was first recommended for this group of individuals; however, the presence of morbidity is related to the surgical process. Micro-implant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has been used to enable maxillary expansion in skeletally mature patients. Through a discussion of its history, indications, treatment effects, stability, and limits in the existing body of research, the purpose of this article is to explore the function that MARPE plays in clinical orthodontics.
