[Extraction of the deciduous anterior teeth and its consequences in children with the nursing bottle syndrome].

On eighty children, whose rampant carious and predominant periapical diseased deciduous maxillary incisors had been formerly extracted, the outcomes of the early extraction were inspected in regard to the later development of the permanent teeth and the general state of health. For 68 children gypsum models were analysed, whether the early loss of deciduous incisors had led to deficiency of place in the front of the upper jaw. The early tooth extraction and conservation therapy resulted in a clear improvement of children's physical condition and ameliorated the starting situation of permanent teeth to be preserved healthy. The earlier the milk-incisors had to been extracted the greater was the danger of a belated eruption of the permanent incisors.
