Evaluation of requirement of extraction of first maxillary primary molar in 3 to 5 years old children .

Abstract

Introduction : Permanent premolars (also known as bicuspids) replace the primary molars, and permanent molars erupt behind the primary teeth. The lower two front teeth (incisors) and the upper and lower first molars, the molars closest to the front of the mouth, are usually the first teeth to appear. Because of the high frequency of oral illness in developing nations, primary tooth extraction is a widespread and serious concern. Because these teeth are expected to fall out on their own, they receive the least attention, producing in significant problems such as crowding and malocclusion.The aim of this study is to evaluate the requirement of extraction of the first maxillary primary molar in 3 to 5 year old children
