MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) Workshop and MARPE Complications (What to Do and What Not to Do)
SPEAKER: Dr Audrey Yoon
In this lecture and workshop, Dr Yoon will review the biomechanical advantages and disadvantages of each MARPE design and technique from A to Z. She will also present cases that demonstrate the complications of MARPE and how to troubleshoot and manage each complication.
She will discuss her clinical data (in press) of MARPE complications including a review of over 400 plus MARPE cases, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) x-ray objective measurements to determine what factors lead to successful clinical improvements, and what factors may create adverse iatrogenic consequences of MARPE.
The goals of this presentation are to guide the orthodontist in selecting the best MARPE option for individual cases and proper treatment plan and biomechanics to avoid clinical complications.
