Abstract

The records of 23 patients who underwent mandibular second premolar enucleation in the early mixed dentition were studied. The patients were selected at random from a group which had mandibular plane angles in excess of 38 degrees to SN and had not worn headgear prior to mechanical orthodontic therapy. Pre- and posttreatment measurements were compared to measurements made in an earlier study by Isaacson et al. and a significant decrease in lower anterior face height was found.
