Expansão rápida de maxila cirurgicamente assistida: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The transverse maxillary deficiency can be corrected by means of maxillary expansion. When maxillary bone maturation is consolidates, surgical expansion is necessary, as it is necessary to eliminate the structural resistance of the maxilla with osteotomies, favoring maxillary disjunction. The objective of this study was to report on the various surgical techniques available in the literature that were successful in their execution, clarifying their indications and contraindications, in addition to discussing the possible results and complications of Rapid Maxillary Expansion Assisted Surgery (SARME). There are several surgical techniques for performing SARME, which differ in relation to the number of areas of resistance to osteomized expansion. There is no consensus in the literature as to the best surgical technique for performing SARME, but currently the simplest osteotomies are adopted by professionals. Therefore, SARME is an effective and safe procedure to correct transverse maxilla deficiency in patients who have bone maturation and who have not been successful with orthopedic treatment. However, the professional must be able to perform the surgical technique
