Resumen

Transverse maxillary discrepancy, mandibular skeletal retrusion, and increased lower anterior face height have been recognized as frequent abnormalities in growing individuals, despite the paucity of available data. Aim: This research looked at the relationship between treatment planning and Control of Vertical Dimension (CVD) effectiveness in orthopaedic and orthodontic therapy (OT). Methods: We searched full-text publications in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases from 1970 to 2024. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) quality scale was used for the critical selection of the studies. Results: We identified 43 articles, of which 28 were included in the review. Also observed that a strong and positive relation was established for the two parameters of CVD and OT for both growing subjects. Conclusion: We can suggest from our study that rapid maxillary expansion (RME) can be used as an aid for the control of vertical dimension estimation.
