Orthodontic Management of Proclination of Incisors Following all 1st Permanent Molar Extraction of a Young Girl - A Case Report
Dr. Rajib. K. Seal, Dr. Debrupa Chakravarty
Abstract: Since the early days of orthodontics, the need for tooth extractions in certain orthodontic situations has been discussed and is well established. Premolars, either first or second are the teeth of choice for therapeutic purposes and not the molars or grinders, which are essential for chewing food. However, permanent first molars are extracted, though rare in certain specific situations. Orthodontic biomechanics following first molar extraction is technically more complex due to number of factors. The purpose of this article is to discuss reasons for first molar extraction to describe different stages of orthodontic mechanics involved, by presenting a case treated following extraction of four 1st permanent molars of a young girl.
