Cephalometrıc Evaluatıon In Early Loss Of Prımary Teeth

Abstract

It’s known among the complications of the early loss of primary teeth are mesial drift of the first molars and distal tipping of the anterior teeth. In this study; lateral cephalometric evaluation carried out regardless of molar relationship on the male and female children, aged between 8 and 12 and who has skeletal Class 1 malocclusion and early primary teeth loss. When the medium of cephalometric evaluations and medium of optimal values compared statistically and found that; mesial migration in the early loss of primary teeth becomes more severe particularly in males. Thus, in planning space retainers the necessity of respect to this complication is shown.
