[Changes in the dental arch due to obligatory early extraction of first permanent molars].

The first permanent molars are the mo frequently extracted teeth due to caries. Early loss of these teeth which are known as "the ke of the occlusion" may lead to rotations, migrations, and elongations of the other teeth in the dental arches, and finally may cause occlusal disorders. This research is conducted on the patient whose first permanent molars need to be extracted due to profound caries and unrestorab material loss. By means of the lateral and panoramic radiographs taken just before the extraction and one year later, the local changes in the extraction and non-extraction segments are compared.

Dental Arch

[Frankel III appliance].

FR III is a functional regulator appliance developed by Professor Rolf Frankel. This appliance is used in the treatment of Class III malocclusions. Optimum treatment results can be achieved when the appliance is used in the early mixed dentition period. The restricting effect of the buccinator and orbicularis oris muscles on maxillary skeletal development is prevented by means of lip pads and vestibular shields, thus maxillary development is stimulated. In this article philosophy, construction and clinical management of the FR III appliance will be described and two of our patients which are treated with this appliance will be presented.
