Development and eruption of the second permanent molar · Children aged 5 to 15 years with a compromised first permanent molar
Root closure and eruption of the second permanent molar appeared accelerated on the extraction side in a single case-control study; ungraded and not statistically tested.

Caries and/or fillings in adjacent teeth · Children aged 5 to 15 years with a compromised first permanent molar
One study found fewer decayed or filled proximal surfaces but more decayed or filled occlusal surfaces in arches with an extracted first permanent molar; ungraded.

Spontaneous space closure · Children aged 5 to 15 years with a compromised first permanent molar
Early extraction of a compromised first permanent molar is followed by variable spontaneous closure of the post-extraction space (about 45.5% to 85.2% of cases); certainty was not GRADE-rated (Shekelle category III).

Development and eruption of the third molar · Children aged 5 to 15 years with a compromised first permanent 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.

Lower incisor inclination (lingual tipping and retrusion) · Children (approximately 11 years or older) with compromised mandibular first permanent molars
Bilateral lower first permanent molar extraction was associated with lingual tipping and retrusion of the lower incisors in one case-control study; ungraded.

Spontaneous space closure · Children aged 5 to 15 years undergoing first permanent molar extraction
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.

Skeletal development (occlusal plane rotation, facial height) · Children (approximately 11 years or older) with compromised mandibular first permanent molars
Bilateral lower first permanent molar extraction was associated with counter-clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane and a mild decrease in lower anterior face height in one case-control study; ungraded.

Normando and Cavacami: decreased GnSN angle (P = 0.05), counter-clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane (mean 5.6 vs 12.6 degrees, P = 0.0001), and decreased lower anterior face height (P = 0.048). Table 3: Category…

Caries and/or fillings in adjacent teeth
The intervention led to higher caries and/or fillings in adjacent teeth; GRADE not reported.
