While it was previously believed that premolar extractions could reduce lower anterior facial height by causing a counter-clockwise rotation of the mandible, modern research indicates little to no such correlation. Despite these findings, some within the orthodontic field continue to debate the issue.
Our guest, Dr. Vasilis Charalampakis, is going to talk about his master’s thesis on this issue conducted under the guidance of Lysle E. Johnston. We are going to present a contemporary evidence-based outlook on extractions and vertical dimension in orthodontics.
