Early extraction of a compromised mandibular first permanent molar vs Contralateral non-extraction side (same patient): Development and eruption of the third molar
- Population
- Children aged 5 to 15 years with a compromised first permanent molar
- Intervention
- Early extraction of a compromised mandibular first permanent molar
- Comparison
- Contralateral non-extraction side (same patient)
- Outcome
- Development and eruption of the third molar
Development and eruption of the third molar appeared accelerated after early first permanent molar extraction in two studies (e.g., eruption OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.37 to 5.96); ungraded.

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
