New highlights on effects of rapid palatal expansion on the skull base: a finite element analysis study
Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of
the rapid palatal expansion (RPE) on the pterygoid process (PP),
spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) and sella turcica (ST) in the
skull of a patient with transversal maxillary collapse, and identify
the distribution of mechanical stresses and displacement, by finite element analysis (FEA).
Conclusions: RPE has a direct effect on PP, SOS and ST in the
Class II model skeletal relationship with a transversal maxillary
collapse. PP supported a higher tensile stress and displacement.
