Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the movement of mandibular first molars (MFM) relates to the angular changes of mandibular third molars (MTM) in orthodontic patients, comparing those who had teeth extracted versus those who did not.
- The research involved 100 patients aged 12-16, measuring changes using panoramic radiographs before and after treatment, with statistical analysis performed via STATA software.
- Results showed a significant correlation between MFM movement and MTM angular change in both extraction and non-extraction groups, with an average of 1mm of MFM movement leading to a 2.2-degree change in MTM, though no significant difference was found between the two patient groups.
