Growth, Construction, and Maintenance of Retromolar Space

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.09.003

Abstract

Abstract: The retromolar space is the biological and spatial basis of orthodontic molar distal movement. As one of the common and important orthodontic treatment methods, the effect of molar distal movement is often uncertain. At present, most of the studies focus on how to improve the distal movement efficiency of molars and optimize the static calculation methods of postmolar space, but there are few studies on the dynamic plastic construction mechanism of retromolar space and the effect of orthodontics on it. This article reviews the growth, plastic construction mechanism, and related influencing factors of retromolar space, in order to provide reference for clinical correct evaluation and utilization of retromolar space.

Key words: retromolar space, growth, plastic construction, stability, orthodontics
