Introduction: This systematic review was aimed to compare the dental and skeletal changes between miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) and surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE). Materials and Methods: Publications relevant to our aim were identified by conducting a search in databases, such as PubMed/Medline, Cochrane and Ebsco Publishing. Data were extracted from the full articles after screening of the abstracts and titles. Articles included studies on humans and published in English language. Results: The research yielded a total of 235 results through preliminary search. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria a total of 6 articles were chosen to be eligible for this systematic review. A total of 155 patients were enlisted in this systematic review. Conclusion: Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) and surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) were found to be effective procedures to correct a transverse maxillary deficiency. In addition, the transverse width measurements did not differ between the two modalities of procedure.
