ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) primarily involves the mechanical opening of the midpalatal suture of the maxillary and palatine bones. The fusion of the midpalatal suture determines the failure of RME, a common event in late adolescents and young adults. Recently, the assessment of the maturation of midpalatal suture as viewed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been introduced. Five maturational stages of the midpalatal suture have been presented: Stage A = straight high-density sutural line, with no or little interdigitation; Stage B = scalloped appearance of the high-density sutural line; Stage C = two parallel, scalloped, high-density lines that lie close to each other, separated in some areas by small low-density spaces; Stage D = fusion of the palatine bone where no evidence of a suture is present; and Stage E = complete fusion that extends also anteriorly in the maxilla. At Stage C, less skeletal response would be expected than at Stages A and B, as there are many bony bridges along the suture. For patients at Stages D and E, surgically assisted RME would be necessary, as the fusion of the midpalatal suture already has occurred either partially or totally. This diagnostic method can be used to estimate the prognosis of the RME, mainly for late adolescents and young adults for whom this procedure is unpredictable clinically.
RESUMO
RESUMO A expansão rápida da maxila (ERM) essencialmente consiste na abertura mecânica da sutura palatina mediana tanto nos ossos maxilares quanto nos ossos palatinos. A fusão da sutura palatina mediana determina o insucesso da ERM, um evento comum na adolescência tardia e fase adulta jovem. Recentemente, propôs-se a avaliação da maturação da sutura palatina mediana em tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico (TCFC), sendo apresentados cinco estágios maturacionais: Estágio A = linha sutural de alta densidade retilínea, sem ou com suave interdigitação; Estágio B = linha sutural de alta densidade, com aspecto tortuoso; Estágio C = duas linhas de alta densidade, paralelas e curvilíneas, que se aproximam em algumas regiões e, em outras, são separadas por espaços de baixa densidade; Estágio D = a fusão ocorreu no osso palatino, onde não há evidência de sutura; e Estágio E = fusão completa, que se estende anteriormente na maxila. No Estágio C, esperam-se menores efeitos esqueléticos da ERM, comparado aos Estágios A e B, visto que há muitas pontes ósseas ao longo da sutura. Para pacientes nos Estágios D e E, a expansão rápida da maxila assistida cirurgicamente (ERMAC) seria necessária, já que a fusão da sutura palatina mediana ocorreu parcial ou totalmente. Esse método de diagnóstico pode ser utilizado para estimar o prognóstico da ERM, principalmente na adolescência tardia e fase adulta jovem, período em que esse procedimento ainda apresenta-se imprevisível clinicamente.
