Mandibular Incisor Extraction: Whether Or Not - A Couple of Case Reports

Parijat Chakraborthy

Mandibular incisor extraction is a controversial treatment option in orthodontic treatment planning. It has often been described as a compromised treatment of malocclusions. Careful case selection and planning may lead to acceptable results. In this study a couple of cases have been put forward, one with mandibular incisor extraction and other without extraction aiming to conclude that mandibular incisor extraction is case dependent regardless of malocclusion. Mandibular incisor extraction indication and contraindications6 are all valid during decision making but the most important fact to be remembered is that it is case dependent.
