The patients will treated with the Haas appliance. In both the groups the periodontal clinical indices (plaque index, PI; papillary bleeding index, PBI; probing pocket depth, PPD) will collected three times during the treatment (before, during and at the end). All measurements will performed by the same examiner.\n\nA descriptive statistical analysis will conducted. The paired samples Student's T test will used to evaluate the intra-group differences between t1 and t2. The unpaired samples Student's T test will used to evaluate between groups differences at t1 and t2. The significance level will set at 95%."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '10 Years', 'minimumAge': '6 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': "patients attending the division of orthodontics of Department MeSVA, University of L'Aquila, Italy", 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* palate narrow\n* necessity of performing a expansion treatment\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* dental disease'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01888666', 'briefTitle': 'Comparison Between Rapid and Slow Palatal Expansion: Evaluation of Periodontal Indices', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': "University of L'Aquila"}, 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Tecc01/2013'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'rapid palatal expansion (RPE) using the Haas appliance'}, {'label': 'slow palatal expansion (SPE)'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '67100', 'city': 'L’Aquila', 'state': 'AQ', 'country': 'Italy', 'facility': "Dept. of Life, Health and Environmental Science, University of L'Aquila", 'geoPoint': {'lat': 42.35055, 'lon': 13.39954}}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': "University of L'Aquila", 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Contract professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Enrico Marchetti', 'investigatorAffiliation': "University of L'Aquila"}}}}
