The third dredge-up phenomenon in asymptotic giant branch stars, responsible for the formation of C stars, is discussed based on detailed evolutionary model calculations. The structural readjustment of the star as dredge-up proceeds is analyzed, and its consequences on dredge-up predictions discussed. The question of how to obtain dredge-up in asymptotic giant branch models is also addressed. It is stressed, in particular, that the modeling of dredge-up requires some sort of extra-mixing to be applied below the envelope if the local Schwarzschild criterion is used to delimit convective zones.
