Extraction of a maxillary first permanent molar vs Extraction of a mandibular first permanent molar: Spontaneous space closure
- Population
- Children aged 5 to 15 years undergoing first permanent molar extraction
- Intervention
- Extraction of a maxillary first permanent molar
- Comparison
- Extraction of a mandibular first permanent molar
- Outcome
- Spontaneous space closure
Spontaneous post-extraction space closure did not differ significantly between the maxilla and mandible (pooled OR 2.06, 95% CI 0.46 to 9.28; 3 studies; I2 = 72%); 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.
