alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Hybrid mandibular Bologna midline distractor  in combination with surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion for transverse facial expansion: clinical and cephalometric results via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com Transverse maxillomandibular hypoplasia can be treated with surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in association with mandibular symphyseal distraction (MSD). This paper introduces a hybrid mandibular Bologna midline distractor (BMD); the effectiveness of the distractor in combination with SARME for the treatment of transverse skeletal deficiency was evaluated. This two-centre study included 10 patients with a transverse arch width deficit>7  mm and dental crowding, in both the maxilla and mandible, treated with SARME and MSD.
