Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of tooth/bone-borne (hybrid) and tooth-borne (TB) surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) on the width of the nasal soft and hard tissue. Twenty skeletally mature patients (nine males and 11 females; mean age 19.4 years) with transverse maxillary hypoplasia were randomly assigned to hybrid or TB devices. The patients had undergone SARME operations, performed by the same surgical team using the same procedure (Le Fort I osteotomy with pterygomaxillary dysjunction, midline osteotomy, and no down-fracture). Nasal soft- and hard-tissue changes were analyzed using CBCT preoperatively (T0), at the end of the active expansion phase (T1), and after 6 months of retention (T2). The study was approved by the relevant ethics committee. The skeletal and soft-tissue nasal parameters increased significantly in the T0–T1 and T0–T2 periods in both groups ( P < 0.05). No statistically significant differences between the groups were observed. The mean piriform aperture width increased from 1.26 mm in T0–T1 to 0.97 mm in T1–T2 and 2.17 mm in T0–T2 ( P < 0.008). In the soft tissue, the alar base width increased to 2.78 mm and the alar width to 2.95 mm in T0–T2 ( P = 0.001). There was a positive correlation (63.6%) between the changes in skeletal and soft-tissue values. The hybrid and TB devices led to similarly significant widening effects in nasal soft and hard tissues in both the short term and 6 months after SARME.
