Abstract
|
|
|
Orthodontic treatment in conjunction with second-molar extractions has a controversial issue among orthodontics for many years. Although the results of several quantitative studies have been published, most articles pertaining to second molar extraction reflect the author's opinions and clinical experience, not scientific fact. Indications for second molar extractions and timing of the extractions vary from one orthodontist to another. As the orthodontists decide this problem, they should consider facial esthetics, amounts and site of the crowding, size and eruption path of third molar, and patients cooperation.
Chief among the advantages that have been claimed for second molar extraction are the disimpaction of third molars and the prevention of late crowding of the lower arch. Second molar extraction can be a very useful approach to treatment in carefully selected cases, but it cannot be regarded as a substitute for premolar extraction in cases.
This study focuses on lower second molar extraction in the treatment of CⅢ malocclusion.
