Key Points

This study aims to assess the impact of early extraction of permanent first molars on adjacent teeth movements and space closure.
Cross-sectional review of records from 194 patients at a Pediatric Dentistry Clinic.
Included 45 patients with complete follow-ups and records regarding extraction.
Analyzed socio-demographics, extraction reasons, and developmental stages using Nolla method with radiographs.
Mean chronological age of participants was 9.63±1.39 years.
Upper right side permanent first molars closed their extraction space spontaneously within the sample.
Significant increase in spontaneous closure likelihood correlated with the advanced developmental stage of the third permanent molar.
