    Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effect of systemically administered methylphenidate hydrochloride (MPH) on new bone formation in premaxillary suture after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Setting and Sample Population Thirty-three Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Group 1 (high dose, 30/60 mg/kg MPH), Group 2 (low dose, 4/10 mg/kg MPH), Group 3 (positive control) and Group 4 (negative control). Methods RME was applied on the 70th day of the study. A 5-day RME period was followed by a 12-day retention period. The experiment was terminated on the 87th day. Micro-CT for radiological evaluation, haematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome staining methods were used for histomorphometric evaluation. Results Among experimental groups with RME, the lowest number of osteoblasts and capillaries in Group 1 (P < .05). New bone formation, fibrous callus formation, distal osteotomy line, proximal osteotomy union and cortex remodelling were observed to be lower in Group 1 and Group 2 than Group 3 (P < .05). There was a statistically significant difference between Group 4 and each of the other groups (P = .000) in the evaluation of the results for bone mineral density, bone volume, bone volume percentage, trabecular thickness and trabecular number. Conclusions MPH reduces cellular activity for new bone formation in suture in RME groups. Before performing rapid maxillary expansion in patients using MPH, the use of the drug should be postponed after a multidisciplinary decision process or clinical doses should be lowered.
