OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the upper airway space changes after miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction with hybrid (HH) and conventional hyrax (CH) expanders.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample comprised Class III malocclusion growing patients that were randomized into two groups of miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction. The group HH was treated with a hybrid hyrax appliance in the maxilla and two miniscrews distally to the canines in the mandible. Class III elastics were used from the maxillary first molar to the mandibular miniscrews until anterior crossbite correction. The group CH was treated with a similar protocol except for the conventional hyrax expander in the maxilla. Cone-beam computed tomography was obtained before (T1) and after 12 months of therapy (T2). The shape and size of upper airway were assessed. Intergroup comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.05).
RESULTS: The group HH was composed of 20 patients (8 female, 12 male) with a mean age of 10.76 years. The group CH was composed of 15 patients (6 female, 9 male) with a mean age of 11.52 years. Anteroposterior and transverse increases of the upper airway were found for both groups. The oropharynx and the most constricted area increased similarly in both groups.
CONCLUSIONS: No differences in upper airway changes were observed using protraction anchored on hybrid or conventional hyrax expanders.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Maxillary protraction anchored on hybrid or conventional hyrax expanders may benefit patients with breathing disorders due to the increase of the upper airway volume and most constricted area. Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03712007).
