Abstrakt: | Context: Maxillary expansion is the mainstay therapy for maxillary transverse deficiency. There has been a constant search for the most effective yet biologically friendly method of maxillary expansion, alternatives being, slow, rapid and semi rapid. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore the outcome of palatal expansion achieved using a removable plate and low continuous forces brought about by a semi rapid screw activation protocol. Settings and Design: Retrospective study. Methods and Material: Plaster models of 56 consecutive patients treated for maxillary expansion were obtained pre-treatment (T Statistical Analysis Used: Interclass Correlation Coefficient [ICC] and Dahlberg's formula were used for reliability test. The differences in the mean values between the three duration groups [T Results: Significant increase in inter-molar, alveolar and palatal linear widths were observed from T Conclusion: The appliance and protocol were effective in producing transverse expansion with minimal molar and alveolar tipping.
