Three-dimensionally Printed Hyrax Versus Conventional Hyrax for Maxillary Arch Expansion in Adolescents
Three-dimensionally Printed Hyrax Versus Conventional Hyrax for Maxillary Arch Expansion in Adolescents: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Ain Shams University
22 participants
Aug 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This clinical trial aims to compare the skeletal and dental effects of conventional Hyrax expanders and 3D-printed Hyrax expanders in adolescent patients with maxillary transverse deficiency. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital models, the study evaluates the precision, customization, and treatment outcomes of both appliance types to inform evidence-based orthodontic treatment planning.
