Compromised first permanent molars (FPM), whether diagnosed with severe molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), irreversible pulpities, or necrosis, require frequent re-treatment consequently entering the restorative cycle, which leads to their inevitable extraction and implant placement. Extraction of compromised first permanent molars in 8-10-year-old children allows the mesial migration of the second permanent molars during their eruption, thereby favoring spontaneous space closure as a permanent solution.
