abstract = {Objectives: To evaluate changes in the volume and
cross-sectional area of the nasal airway before and 1 year
after nonsurgical miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary
expansion (MARME) in young adults. Materials and Methods:
Fourteen patients (mean age, 22.7 years; 10 women, four men)
with a transverse discrepancy who underwent cone beam
computed tomography before (T0), immediately after (T1), and
1 year after (T2) expansion were retrospectively included in
this study. The volume of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx
and the cross-sectional area of the anterior, middle, and
posterior segments of the nasal airway were measured and
compared among the three timepoints using paired t-tests.
Results: The volume of the nasal cavity showed a significant
increase at T1 and T2 (P<.05), while that of the nasopharynx
increased only at T2 (P<.05). The anterior and middle
cross-sectional areas significantly increased at T1 and T2
(P<.05), while the posterior cross-sectional area showed no
significant change throughout the observation period
(P>.05). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that the
volume and cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity
increased after MARME and were maintained at 1 year after
expansion. Therefore, MARME may be helpful in expanding the
nasal airway.},
