Effect of Serum Vitamin D on MARPE Treatment Response
Sponsor: Konya Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi
Summary
A total of 30 patients are planned to be included in the study during the first half of 2025, who will apply to the clinic. In our clinical routine, approximately 30% of RME patients are treated using the MARPE method. The patients will be randomly assigned to two different groups. The first group will be referred to the Pediatric Endocrinology outpatient clinic at NEU Faculty of Medicine for vitamin D level measurements at the beginning of the treatment. The second group will proceed with treatment as usual, without vitamin D measurement. At the end of the treatment, vitamin D levels of all patients in both groups will be measured.

Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) Treatment
Vitamin D Supplementation: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, bone health, immune system function, and cellular growth. It is primarily obtained through sunlight exposure, certain foods, and supplements. In the context of your study, Vitamin D supplementation will be used to improve the Vitamin D levels in patients undergoing Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) treatment. Key Points: Purpose: To correct Vitamin D deficiency, which may affect bone metabolism and orthodontic treatment outcomes. Administration: Vitamin D supplementation is typically provided in the form of oral tablets or soft gels, with a usual dosage of 800-2000 IU per day, depending on the individual's baseline levels. Measurement: Vitamin D levels will be measured at the beginning and end of treatment using 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D tests to assess the effectiveness of supplementation. Effect on MARPE: Adequate Vitamin D levels may support better bone remodeling and healing, pote
