Rapid Maxillary Expansion with Low Level Laser Therapy
Effect of Rapid Maxillary Expansion with Low Level Laser Therapy Versus Rapid Maxillary Expansion in Children with Posterior Cross Bite
National Research Centre, Egypt
60 participants
May 17, 2019
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The posterior crossbite is a common type of malocclusion that might affect the normal growth pattern. Early treatment is recommended by rapid maxillary expansion with different appliances. This line of treatment needs a sufficient retention period to decrease the rate of relapse. The low level laser therapy has been used to enhance tissue regeneration. This study aims to compare the effect of rapid maxillary expansion with low level laser versus rapid maxillary expansion in children with posterior cross bite malocclusions.
