Extraction of primary canines for interceptive orthodontic treatment of palatally displaced permanent canines: A systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on the available evidence, it is reasonable to conclude that eruption of PDCs can be facilitated by extraction of primary canines. However, further high-quality, randomized clinical trials are warranted in other population groups. It is hoped that this study will help orthodontists make evidence-based decisions about clinically managing PDCs. PMID: 28800259 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
