Espansione rapida palatale chirurgicamente assistita versus osteotomia di Le Fort I multisegmentata

The SARPE technique seems to be the ideal treatment for the correction of isolated transverse maxillary deficiencies, including severe cases, whereas the multisegmental Le Fort I osteotomy is useful to correct transverse deficiencies ≤ 7-8 mm, if associated with alterations on sagittal and vertical planes, thus solving the whole malocclusion in a single surgical step.
