Objective: This systematic review sought to evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion on individuals with Down syndrome.
Methods: Searches were conducted in four electronic databases (PubMed, Medline Ovid, Web of Science, and Scopus) to identify articles assessing the effects of rapid maxillary expansion on individuals with Down syndrome. Titles/abstracts were evaluated separately by two authors. Those who met the eligibility criteria were included. For those abstracts that presented insufficient information to reach a decision, the full text was retrieved. After the evaluation of the full texts, references that met the eligibility criteria were included. A manual search was also performed in the reference list of the articles included in this study. Data from the included articles were extracted. The quality evaluation of the studies was carried out with the Cochrane tool and MINORS.
Results: The search retrieved 289 references. After the removal of 37 duplicates, the titles/abstracts of 252 references were evaluated, and the eligibility criteria were applied. Of these 252 references, two met the eligibility criteria and were included. Six titles/abstracts did not have sufficient information for a decision, and a full text retrieval was necessary, none of which was included. In the first study, individuals with Down syndrome who underwent rapid maxillary expansion presented a significant improvement in the outcomes of snoring, mouth breathing, restlessness, waking up suddenly, drooling, articulation of words, tongue protrusion, and facial esthetics (p < 0.05) when compared with individuals in the control group. In the second, most individuals with Down syndrome undergoing rapid maxillary expansion present no complications.
