Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to compare the skeletal and dental maxillary expansion obtained with an Hyrax tooth-borne expander anchored either on the 2nd deciduous molars (V) or on the 1st permanent molars (6).
The main objective is to compare at the skeletal level the distance between the cephalometric points, right jugal (RJ) and left jugal (JR) (maxillary base).
The secondaries objectives are performed at the dental level by measuring the distance between the maxillary first molars mesio-palatal cusp and the cuspids cups. Molar derotation is also assessed
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Experimental group Hyrax-type rapid maxillary expander anchored on the 2nd deciduous molars (V) |
Device: Experimental group
The experimental group will have a hyrax rapid maxillary expander anchored on the 2nd deciduous molars (V)
|
| Active Comparator: Control group Hyrax-type rapid maxillary expander anchored on the 1st permanent molars (6) |
Device: Control group
The control group will have a hyrax rapid maxillary expander anchored on the 1st permanent molars (6)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Difference in skeletal maxillary width before/ after rapid maxillary expansion [6 months]
Difference in skeletal maxillary width measured on frontal cephs (distance between the cephalometric points "right jugal RJ" and "left jugal JR" of the Ricketts analysis) before (V0)/after (V8) rapid maxillary expansion with tooth-borne expander type Hyrax
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Difference of the inter-molar distance before/after [6 months]
Difference before (V0) / after (V8) rapid maxillary expansion with tooth-borne expander type Hyrax of the inter-molar distance (mesiopalatal cusp) assessed on dental casts
- Difference of the inter-canine distance before/after [6 months]
Difference before (V0) / after (V8) rapid maxillary expansion with tooth-borne expander type Hyrax of the inter-canine distance (cuspids cusp) assessed on dental casts
- Difference in the amount of molar derotation (inter-molar angle) before/after [6 months]
Difference before (V0) / after (V8) rapid maxillary expansion with tooth-borne expander type Hyrax in the amount of molar derotation (inter-molar angle) assessed on dental casts
- Inter-operator reproducibility [1 month]
Inter-operator reproducibility assessed by the intra-class correlation coefficient
