Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the available evidence regarding the effect of dental extraction on the facial vertical dimension in adults.
Materials and Methods: A health sciences librarian was consulted and a search strategy was developed and performed in February 2021 for electronic searches in MEDLINE/Pub Med, EMBASE, the Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and LILACS. Hand searching was performed in some of the major journals in the field and reference lists were also assessed. Two independent reviewers selected the studies to pre-specified eligibility criteria and extracted the data.
Results: The full texts of twenty articles were assessed. None of the articles met all the criteria of inclusion. All the excluded studies showed high risk of bias, due to their study design and lack of control for confounding factors such as growth, treatment mechanics and space deficiency.
Conclusion: There is no reliable evidence in the available literature that dental extraction versus non-extraction can decrease the facial vertical dimension in adults with skeletal open-bite. High quality controlled trials are needed to evaluate the effect of extraction.
