[Etiological problems of anterior tooth crowding: the role of the third molar]. 1990

G Minervini, and N Posillico

Università degli Studi di Napoli.

The authors discussed about the extraction or not of the 3 degrees molar either to prevent or correct the dental crowding. They state that, since there is no definitive evidence of the real importance of the 3 degrees molar in creating dental crowding, it is not possible to perform without discrimination 3 degrees molar germectomy nor the extraction for prevention.
