ABSTRACT
Introduction: transverse maxillary collapse is defined as insufficient development of the maxilla in a transverse direction. It is one of the most harmful problems in facial growth and the integrity of the dentoalveolar structures. Objective: identify the number of transverse collapses of the maxilla in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the proposed therapeutic decision. Material and methods: a total of 52 records with CBCT of the orthodontics postgraduate course of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa UAS were examined, determining the cases of transverse maxillary collapse through the Pen analysis. The information collected was captured in a database using the Excel program and analyzed with a logistic regression model. Results: 32 patients with maxillary transverse collapse were found out of a total of 44 patients attended. The logistic regression model did not show an association between the presence of maxillary collapse and the use of treatments that resolved maxillary collapse. Conclusion: there is a large number of patients with maxillary collapse, however, the treatment plan does not show trying to resolve these maxillary collapses.REFERENCES
