Abstract

Permanent tooth extraction in the children and teenager patients, either
due to of tooth decay or esthetical orthodontic reason, will have direct
effect to central nervous system and disturb the growth and
development process of the children and teenager patient's tooth and
jaw and indirect effect in closing of the opportunities of the patient
entering some vital job, like army cadet, pilot and stewardess. If
extraction is based on orthodontic analyses, there are at least 3 : new
problems will arise, namely neurological effect to central nervous
system, non-optimal occlusion and disturbance on growth and
development process of the patient tooth and jaw, and there is a legal
problem if some day the patient realize that they lost their vital
opportunity due to of irrational intervention to their tooth. Are the
worldwide orthodontists theory will safe us from the claim of Indonesian
Act No. 23 Year 2002 and Act No. 29 Year 2005? This paper aim to
realize dentist that the old orthodontic theory is not always true at all
time; society, either physically or economically lost some intact tooth,
due to of unrevised theory; and to warrant the dentist that permanent
tooth extraction is an illegal intervention in conjunction with the Acts,
because dentists do not protect the existence of the intact tooth. There
are some preventive measures alternative to safe the children and
teenager intact tooth, started from oral health for all, optimalization of
space-maintaining and regaining concept, i and better understanding
about orthodontic myofunctional theory.
