Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is indicated for the treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency in patients with skeletal maturity, through the association of orthodontic and surgical procedures. It leads to an increase in the maxillary arch,resulting in better accommodation of the tongue and correcting the black corridors.This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with low risk of complications, thus being considered a practical alternative treatment.Case report and conclusion:This article reports a case of surgically assisted maxillary expansion performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.The patient had a clinical picture of transverse maxillary deficiency.Performing SARPE under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting is a viable procedure, of low cost,easy implementation and low risk of complications once it is performed according to the appropriate technique.
