English term or phrase: zygomatic buttress
Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) consists of a surgical liberation of the sites of resistance combined using orthopedic forces. Thanks to the principles of osteogenic distraction, SARPE can widen the upper arch in skeletically mature patients.7
Several technical approaches have been advocated since the first description by Brown,8 who used a
medial palatal osteotomy, the hypothesis being that this area was the most resistant to maxillary expansion. Since then, several authors have proposed different areas of resistance and advocated several combined osteotomies to mobilize them. The areas of resistance have been classified as anterior support (piriform aperture pillars), lateral support (zygomatic buttresses), posterior support (pterygoid junctions), and medial support (midpalatalsuture).
