dc.description.abstractObjective: The purpose of this study was to investigate Candida albicans colonies in the oral microflora of patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Materials and Methods: Totally 54 male and female subjects, including 27 using bonded rapid maxillary expander and 27 patients without orthodontic treatment, were entered in the present study. The study group consisted of 27 patients (14 females and 13 males) suffering from both maxillary constriction and posterior cross-bite. Patients treated with a rigid acrylic, bonded rapid maxillary expander were evaluated two times using oral rinses: one at baseline (T0) and 2 after palatal spreading out (T1). The data were analyzed using a chi-square test and a Fisher's exact test. Results: After the use of RME, no significant changes were found between the data showing C. albicans colonies at T0 and at T1 (p=1.964). Conclusion: Our data suggest that the RME therapy and appliance did not cause a significant change in oral C. albicans colonization.en_US
