Abstract:
This chapter will discuss the orthodontic perspective of extractions of compromised first permanent molars (cFPMs) due to hypomineralisation. The context behind the diagnosis of a poor prognosis of cFPM that would support the planning of extractions will be presented. In addition, the ideal timing for interceptive extraction of cFPM as well as the favorable and unfavorable orthodontic scenarios for extractions in the permanent dentition will be discussed.
