Post‐extraction mesio‐distal gap reduction assessment by confocal laser scanning microscopy – a clinical 3‐month follow‐up study

Abstract: The mesio-distal gap reduction is higher during the first month following the extraction and continues in time, but to a lesser extent. When the inter-dental contacts were absent, the mesio-distal gap reduction is lower. When a molar tooth is extracted or the distal tooth to the edentulous space does not occlude with an antagonist, the mesio-distal gap reduction is larger. The consideration of mesio-distal gap dimension changes can help improve dental treatment planning.

“…Minor antagonist tooth extrusion happened in all the cases, while the mesial‐distal distance of the tooth‐missing site showed a tendency to decrease. These results partially confirmed the outcomes of some previous studies (Garcia‐Herraiz et al., 2017; Gragg et al., 2001). With a single tooth loss, the remaining teeth especially the neighboring and antagonist teeth had a tendency to rearrange to establish a new equilibrium state, which might lead to the reduction in the tooth‐missing gap (Garcia‐Herraiz et al., 2012).…”

“…The reports about migration of neighboring and antagonist teeth after natural tooth extraction remain inconsistent. A variety of clinical studies revealed that the integrity and stability of natural dentition could be affected for a long time after tooth extraction if the space was left without restoration (Christou & Kiliaridis, 2007; Craddock et al., 2007; Garcia‐Herraiz et al., 2012, 2017).…”
