abstract = {ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of the first molar on the eruption of the third molar by comparing the changes of the third molar position after orthodontic treatment in different tooth extraction modes.Methods39 cases of adolescent patients were selected and divided into three groups: the first molar extraction, first premolar extraction and non-extraction. The pretreatment, posttreatment panoramic radiographs were measured to analyze the change of the third molar position among these groups.ResultsThere were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05) in the average annual variation of the third molar eruption space and angle. The changes in first molar extraction group were larger than that in premolar extraction group and non-extraction group. The average annual variation of the third molar eruption space, three groups were (2.38 ± 1.62) mm, (1.61 ± 0.90) mm and (1.08 ± 1.49) mm; the average annual variation of eruption angle, the three were 1.89° ± 1.93°, 1.37° ± 1.16° and 0.83° ± 1.74°.ConclusionCompared with conventional treatment, mandibular first molar extraction can significantly increase the third molar eruption space and improve its eruption angle, which is beneficial to the eruption of the third molar.}
