Hızlı Üst Çene Genişletmesi Tedavisinde Palatal Rugaların Transversal Yöndeki Değişimlerinin İncelenmesi

Amaç: Adli tıp kayıtlarında, erişkinlerde hayat boyu stabil kabul edilen palatal rugaların hızlı üst çene genişletmesi (HÜÇG) tedavisi sonrasındaki transversal stabilitesinin dental model üzerinde değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve yöntemler: Kliniğimizde üst çene transversal darlığı teşhis edilen, HÜÇG tedavisi uygulanan 20 hastanın (8 kız,12 erkek yaş 14.2 +-1.7 yıl) genişletme öncesi ve retansiyon sonrası kayıtlarından oluşmaktadır. Palatal rugalar 1. rugadan 3. rugaya kadar dental modeller üzerinde kurşun kalemle işaretlendi. İnter-medial ve inter-lateral ruga mesafeleri ve rugaların transversal pozisyon değişiklikleri dijital kumpas ile ölçülerek kaydedildi. Bulgular: Yapılan ölçümler neticesinde genişletme sonrası rugaların inter-lateral ve inter-medial transversal mesafe ölçümlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı artış bulunmuştur (p

Examination of Transversal Changes of Palatal Ruga in the Treatment of Rapid Maxillary Expansion

Aim: Evaluation of the transversal stability of palatal rugaes after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment on a dental model, which remain stable throughout the life of the adult in the records of forensic medicine. Materials and Methods: It consists of the pre-expansion and post-retention records of 20 patients (8 girls, 12 boys, 14.2 + -1.7 years) diagnosed with maxillary transversal deficiency and treated with RME in our clinic. Palatal rugae were marked simultaneously with pencil on dental models from the 1st to the 3rd ruga. Inter-medial and inter-lateral ruga distances and transversal position changes of rugae were measured with digital caliper and recorded. ResultsAs a result of the measurements , a statistically significant increase was found between the inter-medial and inter-lateral points of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd ruga after expansion (p
