Objective: Widening the inter-maxillary suture is a preferred procedure in orthodontics. However, relapse can occur in some patients after maxillary expansion therapy. This study aimed to increase bone formation in the inter-maxillary suture and decrease retention time with the help of grape seed extract (GS), which can stimulate bone tissue formation.Materials and Methods: A total of twenty rats were separated into the following two groups (n=20): the control group (group C) comprised rats that received only maxillary expansion therapy, and the other group (group GS) comprised rats that received maxillary expansion therapy along with GS. The grape seeds were systemically administered using an orogastric tube after maxillary expansion in group GS. Expansion springs were placed and activated to produce force. The springs were taken from the mouth 5 days later and exchanged with short rectangular wires for retention. This retention wire was placed for 12 days.Results: Significant differences were found in the percentage of newly formed bone (p
Amaç: Medyan sutürün maksiller genişletilmesi ortodonti sıklıkla yapılan bir uygulamadır. Retansiyon sonrasında bile genişlemiş sutürde geriye gidiş görülebilmektedir. Amacımız bu sutürdeki genişlemedeki kemikleşmeyi hızlandırmak ve kemikleşmeye etkisi olan üzüm çekirdeği ekstresi kullanarak retansiyon süresini kısaltmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yirmi adet rat iki gruba ayrıldı (n=20). Kontrol grubuna sadece ekspansiyon yapıldı. Deney grubuna ise ekspansiyona ilaveten üzüm çekirdeği ekstresi verildi. Deney grubuna ekspansiyon sonrası orogastrik yöntemle sistemik olarak ekstreler verildi. Maksillaya springler uygulanıp aktiflendi. Beş gün sonra springler çıkartıldı ve köşeli tellerle retansiyon yapıldı. On iki gün pekiştirme yapıldı. Bulgular: İki grup arasında yeni kemik alanı (p
