Introduction
Since the beginning of orthodontics, mechanical therapy has been used to create space for crowded teeth. Space - created in three ways: expansion of the dental arch, lengthening of the dental arch, and extraction of teeth or any combination of the three. www.indiandentalacademy.com
‘to extract or not to extract’ – key qn.- planning ortho trt. 2 major reasons for extraction:
Severe crowding – provide space – remaining teeth.
protrusion or camouflage Sk Cl II or Cl III.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Historical Background Great Extraction controversy – 1920’s. Occlusal concepts def. of normal occlusion. Potential complications: Facial esthetics. Stability of results.
Angle influenced by: Philosophy of Rousseau & biologic concepts of his time. Rousseau perfectibility of man www.indiandentalacademy.com
Extn. for ortho trt. – inappropriate. Inherent capability – perfect dentition. Ideal relation of 32 natural teeth.
Angle impressed by discovery Bone architecture stresses placed. 1900’s – German Physiologist – Wolff “Wolff’s law of bone” – bone trabeculae arranged in response to stress lines on the bone. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Two Key Concepts. Skeletal growth – infl. by external pressures. Class II or Class III problem – abnormal stress on jaws. Difft. pressure patterns – with trt – change growth overcome problem. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Proper fn. Key – maintain teeth in correct position. teeth in proper occl. – force transmitted to teeth – stimulate bone growth – stabilize teeth in new position. Edgewise appl. – “Bone growing appliance” – capable of controlling root posn. – bodily movement. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Dentofacial Esthetics: Professor Wuerpel – tremendous variety – impossible to specify – ideal.
Angle’s insight: Reln. of dentition to face &
VARY
esthetics of lower face Ideal esthetics for each individual – teeth in ideal occlusion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Calvin Case’s challenge: arches expanded – teeth aligned – neither esthetics nor stability satisfactory – long term.
Re-introduction of extraction. 1930’s – relapse observed. Charles Tweed – retreated with extrn. – four 1st PM’s stable results. Reintroduction – 1940’s. Raymond Begg, Australia – Non extn – unstable Extn. Trt. with Begg appliance. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Stockards breeding experiments – crossbreeding dogs Malocclusion – inherited.
Begg’s – Attritional occlusion studies. Extraction – necessary. Recent Trends. decline in extraction rates. PM extn – no guarantee of stability. Public preference – more prominent lips.
“Neo – Angle” school of Treatment planning. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Rational contemporary view: majority – trtd without removal of teeth. some require extn. – compensate for: Crowding, incisor protrusion facial esthetics or jaw discrepancy. Contemporary Extn. Guidelines. – Cl I crowding & protrusion. <4mm discepancy –extn. Indicated. 5- 9mm – extn.or non. extn. >10mm – Extn. Almost always. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Extraction trt. & Begg technique. Dr. Begg’s studies – Stone Age Man’s dentitionAttritional occlusion. Natural wearing away of tooth – not seen in modern man – dietary refinements. Evolutionary progress – Smaller jaw bones.
Primary cause of Malocclusion. Reduction in tooth str. – extn. & stripping modern substitute for attrition. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Five factors – considered – case requiring extn. Arch length problems: tooth size to jaw discrepancy – civ. Man. tooth extn.- in tooth sub. – fnly. stable occlsn. Anchorage values. rate of tooth movement α total root surface area. force kept constant. Growth tendencies. assess adult size of tooth bearing parts of the jaws. Relative to – total M-D width – full complement of teeth. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Soft tissue analysis. extn – influence – relative posn. of upper lip, lower lip; nasolabial angle & prominence of chin. Organized occlusion. impt. role in selection of teeth for extn Esp. in cases with missing laterals & mandibular 2nd PM’s. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Choice of Extraction. essential to discard – automatic or routine decision – which teeth to extract. Refinement in diagnostic aids, Changes in Sophistication in mechanotherapy, Understanding of growth & Dev. objectives of trt.
ability of the orthodontist to move teeth variety of choices other than Ist bicuspids. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Four first Premolars. Dr. Begg when indicated, all 4 1st PM’s – teeth chosen. Reasons: 1st PM’s – closer to ant. region – crowding seen. Ease of appl. Therapy – teeth close to the crowding region. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Smallest occlusal surface – masticatory fn. not hampered. Cuspids – good proximal contact – 2nd PM. maintain – normal physiologic fns. Esthetic appearance – not ruined – when extd. Approx.7.5 mm space gained on each side.

Controversial issues: Etiologic factor in TMJ disorders – over retraction – displ. of condyle post. vertical dimension of occlusion. Julie Ann Staggers ( 1994 AJO )– proved wrong. Changes in V.D – Not difft. – occuring in nonextn. cases.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Four Second Premolars Orthodontic trt. with Begg – border line cases – good facial profile & mild crowding – challenge.
In 1965, Henry gave two basic criteria for extraction of second bicuspids: 1. A mild degree of crowding and a good profile. 2. No crowding and a fullness of the lips. www.indiandentalacademy.com
De Castro - mammalian dentition arrangement of three independent segments— an anterior segment ending at the canines & two posterior segments. Second premolar extracted – middle of the posterior segment, - this segment is shortened. first premolars extracted, posterior segments & transitional areas are disturbed www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The indications for second premolar extraction are: Good profile + mild crowding. Flat profile + moderate crowding. Class II division 1 arch relation on Skeletal I base with mild mandibular crowding . Mild Class III arch relationship with mild crowding in maxillary arch. www.indiandentalacademy.com
The advantages of this approach : Original facial contours - maintained, without reduction of lip profile. Maxillary first premolar - esthetic tooth alongside a canine. less tendency for extraction spaces to reopen in the mandibular arch. www.indiandentalacademy.com
buccal or lingual bone furrows in the extraction area, rapid space closure. Maintain – correct mand. canine width. Proper axial position of canines. Canine protection – better – canine 1st PM combination. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Begg – 2nd PM extn - likelihood of relapse. Extract – when carious or faulty – formation. De Castro (1974 AJO). – findings: Deliberate molar movement - > 2.5 mm on each side, requd. Average extn case – no change in facial profile. > 5mm disc.- good profile at start of trt. Post. Crowding – 2nd or 3rd molars / impactions . www.indiandentalacademy.com
Upper first & lower second PM’s Indications: Lower cuspids & ant. well placed. To correct MO – protract molars. Eg; Class II reln. Pathology ( Caries , malformed etc. )
Advantages: Contact b/w cuspid & 1st PM – lower arch undisturbed. Good occlsn. Upper 2nd PM & lower 1st PM & Molar. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages: Mechanotherapy – difficult[ distalization of 1st PM – lower arch.] Narrow distal surface of 1st PM. – Contact not as desirable as with 2nd PM.

Maxillary & Mandibular first molars Indication: Any form of pathology – necessitating – extn. Endodontically treated teeth / multifilled teeth. Missing molars ( premature extn.)
Disadv: Site of extn. – far from site of crowding. necessary to move 10 teeth in each arch. Mechanics – complicated. Relapse – mesial migration of 10 teeth – greater amt. of ant. translation. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Williams & Hoslla:Forward movement of post. teeth – 13.9 mm. Ant segment – 6.3mm. Space used for retraction – 31%
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Maxillary & Mandibular 2nd molars. Extd. very rarely for orthodontic purposes. Indications: Severely carious, ectopically erupted or severely rotated. Mild discrepancies, good facial profiles. To facilitate molar distal movt. Class II Sk.cases – mild mandibular crowding.
Prerequisites: Third molars present – normal size & shape. No congenitally missing teeth. Third molar inclination – 15 – 30° - long axis of 1st molar. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages amount and duration of appliance therapy Disimpaction & Faster eruption of third molars Prevention of "dished-in'' appearance of the face Prevention of "late" incisor imbrication 1st molar distal movement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Distal movement of the dentition only as needed to correct the overjet "residual" spaces – less - end of orthodontic treatment relapse Good functional occlusion Good mandibular arch form incisal overbite
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages. Extraction site - far - in moderate-to-severe anterior crowding patient cooperation - wearing appliances moving the dentition to the distal ''en mass" Possible impaction of third molars even with second molar extraction Frequently unacceptable positions of erupted third molars second, late stage of fixed-appliance therapy. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Staggers (1990 AJO): compared results – 1st PM & 2nd Molar extn. Not much diff. in findings. Amount of ant. retraction Protraction of first molars in PM gp. Retraction of lower lip Facial profile change - in 2nd molar gp. Not statistically sig. Third molar angulation – OPG – not stat. sig. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Eight tooth Extraction Incidence – 0.5% of cases – Lyman Wagers ( JCO 1977) Rationale. Goals in trt. – mand incisor - + 2° AP Line. interincisal angle - 130°. 1 – Sn =100° In severe discrepancy cases – to achieve – goals. High mand. plane angle – no room – post. roots – moved back. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Problems: Lack of proper molar control – tipping mesiolingually. Biting archwire – unwanted bends. Williams & Hoslla: Mean forward movement – 18.6 mm. Ant. retraction - 18.3 mm. 50% space utilized for retraction of ant. segments.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Single Arch Extractions Indications: Class II div I- perfect lower arch alignment & incisor position. Growth expectations – inadequate – non extraction. Non – extn. – tried. Class II div I with mild openbite.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Upper first premolars Choice of extn. – amount of space requd. – region. Good molar interdigitation, Space requirement – 15 mm ant to 2nd PM’s.
Profile improved. Esthetics improved. Masticatory fn. optimum.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Problems encountered: Molar reln. Still in class II. Reopening – space behind canine. Partial relapse of upper incisor protrusion. Mesial tipping of upper 1st molar – lingual cusp plunging b/w lower first molar & 2nd PM. www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Upper first molars Adv. over 1st PM extn: ( Raliegh Williams AJO 1979) Space behind canine – does not reappear. Buccal interdigitation normal – U 2 PM’s x L 2 PM’s 2nd molar – Class I reln. with lower 1st molar. cusp fossa reln. normal. Upper 3rd molars – can erupt succesfully.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Other Adv. Tuberosity – not crowded – distal movmnt. of molars. Min. patient co-operation. results stable in A-P dimension. No retention in lower arch. Post trt. profile excellent – upper and lower lips balanced. Ultimate appearance – no extns. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Precautions: Strap lower arch alsoLevel the lower arch. Minor interarch adjustments – Class II or Class III elastics
Not even slightest crowding in lower arch. Curve of spee – should not be significant Upper 3rd molars – present. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Upper 2nd molars. Recommended by Graber ( AJO 1969). In class II div I (1) there is excessive labial inclination of the maxillary incisors, with no spacing; (2) overbite is minimal; and (3) third molars are present in the maxilla, in good position and of proper size and shape. www.indiandentalacademy.com
3rd molar erupting

Ant. segments - retracted readily. Anchorage loss overbite – readily accommplished. Co-op.- wearing of elastics Mechanotherapy simplified. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages: Tendency – space opening. Danger of tooth size disc. eg. In extn of mand incisors with max. PM’s. Color diff. b/w – lateral & canine. Incising impaired. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Conclusion A particular malocclusion can be treated with more than one approach. The astute and the learned clinician will treat each individual patient with the approach that provides him with the best results. The success or failure of of orthodontic treatment is not often the result of the teeth extracted. It is dependent on the ability of the clinician to properly diagnose the malocclusion and skillfully use the appropriate appliance to provide optimal functional and esthetic results www.indiandentalacademy.com
