Extraction of a maxillary first permanent molar vs Extraction of a mandibular first permanent molar

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.

Early extraction of a compromised first permanent molar vs Non-extraction (retained first permanent molar) or contralateral non-extraction side

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).

Extraction at patient age <8 years vs Extraction at patient age >10 years

Spontaneous space closure · Children and adolescents after extraction of a mandibular permanent first molar (before eruption of the second molar)

In the mandible, extraction before age 8 (vs after 10) increases odds of space closure (OR 5.01; low certainty).

Second molar mesially inclined at extraction vs Second molar upright at extraction

Spontaneous space closure · Children and adolescents after extraction of a mandibular permanent first molar (before eruption of the second molar)

In the mandible, mesial inclination of the second molar vs upright was not significantly associated with space closure (OR 0.68; not GRADE-rated).

Extraction of a maxillary first permanent molar vs Extraction of a mandibular permanent first molar

Spontaneous space closure · Children and adolescents after extraction of a mandibular permanent first molar (before eruption of the second molar)

Spontaneous space closure is much more likely in the maxilla than the mandible (OR 7.77; low certainty).

Second molar at Demirjian stage E at extraction vs Second molar at Demirjian stage F-H at extraction

Spontaneous space closure · Children and adolescents after extraction of a maxillary permanent first molar (before eruption of the second molar)

In the maxilla, extraction at Demirjian stage E (vs later F-H) increases odds of space closure (OR 4.78; low certainty).

Second molar at Demirjian stage E at extraction vs Second molar at Demirjian stage F-H at extraction

Spontaneous space closure · Children and adolescents after extraction of a mandibular permanent first molar (before eruption of the second molar)
