Abstract :Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RME); and face-mask application insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FMA); on the mesio-distal axial inclination and apex flexion of maxillary canine tooth in mixed dentition. Methods: In this study, panoramic radiographs of 38 patients were used. In the study group, there were 19 patients who treated with RME and FMA. The control group comprised 19 patients who did not applied treatment. In the study group, radiographs were separated at the before insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T0); and after insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T1); RME and FMA. Radiographs for the control group were separated before insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T0); and after insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T1); maxillary canine eruption. The inclination and flexion of maxillary canine were measured on these radiographs. A Shapiro Wilk test was used to test the data for a normal distribution. A Wilcoxon test was used for intra-group comparisons of T0 and T1 measurements and a Mann Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparisons of T1-T0 differences and flexion values. The significance level was considered to be p < 0.05. Results: There was no statistically significant difference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.748); between the T0 and T1 measurements in the study group but a statistically significant decrease was found in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.031);. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups for T1-T0 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.271); and flexion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.583); measurements. Conclusion: RME and FMA does not have a significant effects on mesio-distal axial inclination and the apex flexion of maxillary canine tooth in mixed dentition.
