At the present time no reports are available on the stability between orthopedic and surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion. This study was designed to examine and compare the dental and skeletal changes over time for both orthopedic maxillary expansion and surgically assisted palatal expansion. The study was divided into two groups. Group one was orthopedically expanded and consisted of 14 males and 10 females. The ages ranged from 6 years to 12 years with a mean of 8.5 years. Group two received surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion and consisted of 12 males and 16 females with ages ranging from 13 years to 35 years and a mean age of 19.25 years. All 52 subjects were white, from the same geographic area, and were treated by the same two operators. Dental models and posterior anterior cephalograms were obtained immediately before and after expansion, at removal of the expansion device, and 1 year after removal of the appliance. A repeated measures analysis of variance test was applied to assess changes over time between groups. The surgical and nonsurgical techniques displayed similar trends over time although the surgical group contained a greater quantity of expansion. Both the orthopedic and the surgical groups showed stable results.
