Expansion and Contraction in Masonry Walls

Expansion and Contraction in Masonry Walls

Masonry walls are subject to slight expansion and contraction due to variations in temperature and moisture. Thermal movement in masonry is relatively straightforward to measure and plan for. On the other hand, moisture movement poses more of a challenge. New clay masonry units typically absorb water and expand over time under normal environmental conditions. Conversely, new concrete masonry units tend to shrink as they lose the excess moisture acquired during their production process.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Orthodontics
Craniofacial Biology

Background:

Maxillary transverse discrepancy is a common dental issue.
Treatment often involves palate expansion through orthopedic and orthodontic tooth movements.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the three main modalities of maxillary expansion.
To provide a brief overview of commonly used appliances for palate expansion.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on rapid maxillary expansion.
Review of literature on slow maxillary expansion.
Review of literature on surgically assisted maxillary expansion.

Main Results:

All three modalities achieve maxillary expansion.
Different appliances are utilized for each expansion technique.

Conclusions:

Maxillary expansion can be achieved through rapid, slow, or surgically assisted methods.
The choice of modality and appliance depends on individual patient needs.
