Relapse of Anterior Crowding in Patients Treated with Extraction and Nonextraction of Premolars ORIGINAL ARTICLE Relapse of anterior crowding in patients treated with extraction and nonextraction of premolars Aslıhan Ertan Erdinc,a Ram S. Nanda,b and Erdal Is¸ ıksalc Izmir, Turkey, and Oklahoma City, Okla Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term stability of incisor crowding in orthodontic patients treated with and without premolar extractions. Methods: Dental casts and cephalometric records of 98 patients were evaluated before treatment (T1), at posttreatment (T2), and at postretention (T3). Half of the patients had been treated with extractions, and half were treated nonextraction. Results: Irregularity, as measured by the irregularity index, decreased 5.51 mm in the extraction group and 2.38 mm in the nonextraction group. Mandibular incisor irregularity increased 0.97 mm in the extraction group and 0.99 mm in the nonextraction group, respectively, in the postretention period. Maxillary incisor irregularity relapse was smaller than mandibular incisor relapse for both groups. Intercanine width expanded during treatment. At T3, mandibular intercanine width decreased in both groups, but the differences were not statistically significant. At T3, intermolar width was stable, arch depth decreased, overbite and overjet slightly increased, SN mandibular plane angle decreased, and incisor positions in both groups tended to return to T1 values. Clinically acceptable stability was obtained. Conclusions: With the exception of the interincisal angle, no statistically significant differences were recorded between the extraction and nonextraction groups from T2 to T3. No statistically significant correlations were found between any variables studied and mandibular incisor irregularity at T1, T2, and T3.

    Review article Annals and Essences of Dentistry SERIAL EXTRACTION: IS IT A PANACEA FOR CROWDED ARCHES? * Radhika Chopra * Senior Lecturer, Karnavati School of Dentistry, Ghandhinagar ABSTRACT Serial Extraction or the guidance of eruption is an age old procedure to correct crowded arches and is still used in routine dental practice.

  • Serial Extraction
    أ. د. أكرم فيصل الحويزي 5th Year Lec. No. 11 SERIAL EXTRACTION Serial extraction involves the timed extraction of primary and, ultimately, permanent teeth to relieve severe crowding and to guide the erupting permanent teeth into a more favorable position. It is better termed it ‘Guidance of Eruption’ or ‘Guidance of Occlusion’. Commonly at 7-8 years of age the maxillary and mandibular central incisors have erupted, but there is inadequate space in anterior segments to allow normal eruption and positioning of lateral incisors. In some cases, mandibular lateral incisors have already erupted but they are usually lingually positioned and rotated. The same is with the maxillary lateral incisors. The orthodontist has four option: Wait for growth to provide more space and re-evaluate later. Expansion of the dental arch. However, the stability of expansion may be compromised by the insufficient alveolar basal bone. Cement a transpalatal or lingual bar to preserve the Leeway space for later on. Serial extraction can reduce crowding and irregularity during the mixed dentition. HISTORY Bunon (1743) made the first reference to the extraction of deciduous teeth to achieve a better alignment of permanent teeth. In 1929, Kjellgren of Sweden first used the term ‘serial extraction’. In the 1940s, the technique was popularised in the United States by Nance who is known as the Father of serial extraction. It was advocated originally as a method to treat severe crowding by their own dentists without or with only minimal use of appliance therapy, thus minimizing demands upon the orthodontic service. Although serial extraction makes later comprehensive treatment easier and often quicker, by itself it almost never results in ideal tooth position or closure of excess space.

It is followed by the extraction of certain permanent teeth to maintain the proper proportion of tooth size and dentoalveolar bone space. However, this procedure is challenging as it requires in-depth clinical knowledge and skill. This article provides essential insights to the clinicians to identify and categorize the cases meticulously for serial extraction, apply both theoretical and practical aspects of growth and development, and diagnose the alarming signs of primary crowding in early mixed dentition period.

  • An Evaluation of Serial Extraction Among Navajo Indian Children
    An evaluation of serial extraction among Navajo Indian children Russell 0. Glauser, D.D.S.* Phoenix, A&. W ithin the borders of the United States, there are more than 100,000 Indian children living in rural areas where no orthodontists are available to provide orthodontic services. Of the varied malocclusion problems, many are the result of dental crowding. The crowding problem appears to be accentuated in this ethnic group by large mesiodistal crown diameter. In a survey of tooth size that I carried out on Navajo students, it was found that, on the average, the individual Navajo tooth is 0.37 mm. larger than the average Caucasian tooth. The Navajo lateral incisor is the tooth which varies to the greatest extent. This tendency toward large teeth has also been demonstrated in the Aleut dentition.14 The present study was designed to evaluate serial extraction as an adjunct to interceptive orthodontic treatment and particularly to ascertain whether it may be applied advantageously in situations where comprehensive orthodontic services are not available. For the purposes of this article, serial extraction is defined as the predetermined sequential removal of deciduous teeth and four premolars, one in each quadrant, to allow sufficient space for alignment of per- manent incisors and subsequent favorable eruption and interdigitation of the remaining permanent canines and premolars. Methods and procedures In a screening examination performed on 816 Navajo children residing on the Navajo Reservation, 279 children who had clinical symptoms of dental crowding were selected for appraisal. Orthodontic records were taken on all children selected. These records consisted of a patient history, full-mouth peri- apical roentgenograms, left and right oblique cephalometric roentgenograms, Presented at the meeting of the Eastman Orthodontic Alumni Association, Rochester, N.

Mail id: [email protected] Abstract Serial extraction or guidance of eruption is the planned and sequential extraction of certain deciduous teeth followed by extraction of specific permanent teeth in the early mixed dentition period in order to encourage the spontaneous correction of tooth irregularities. It is an integral part of interceptive orthodontics aimed at reducing the severity of the developing malocclusion. Keywords: Serial extraction, mixed dentition, Interceptive orthodontics, developing malocclusion, preventive procedure Introduction Serial extraction is a sequential plan of premature removal of one or more deciduous teeth so as to enhance alignment of succedaneous permanent teeth with eventual removal of permanent teeth to take care of the right ratio between tooth size and available bone. [1] Dental crowding exists when there is more tooth material in relation to the basal and alveolar bone that supports the teeth. [2] This procedure is typically done at an early mixed dentition period.

Twenty years after the interceptive treatment, a harmonious face was observed along with treatment stability in the anterior posterior direction, deep overbite (which has been mentioned as a disadvantage of the serial extraction program), and a small relapse of anterior tooth crowding. All these conditions have been regarded as normal occurrences for most orthodontic treatments with a long-term follow-up period. This case report demonstrated that the establishment of a serial extraction protocol determined relevant esthetic changes that afforded an improvement of the patient’s self-esteem, with a positive social impact. Furthermore, the low cost of this protocol permits the use of this therapy with underprivileged populations. It is important to emphasize that an early correction of tooth crowding by this protocol does not guarantee stability, but small relapses do not invalidate its accomplishment.
