Özet
Purpose: The aims of this study were as follows: 1) evaluation of the effects of transpalatal distraction (TPD) on nasal minimum cross-sectional area (MCA) and nasal volume, and assessment of long-term stability of TPD outcomes on the nasal cavity, using acoustic rhinometry (AR); 2) quantifying the alveolar, basal, and nasal components of the maxillary expansion at both canine and molar levels by computed tomography (CT); 3) investigation of the relationship between CT transverse measurements and AR measurements.
