contents In this paper we develop the theory of the depth of a simple algebraic extension of valued fields $(L/K,v)$. This is defined as the minimal number of augmentations appearing in some Mac Lane-Vaquié chain for the valuation on $K[x]$ determined by the choice of some generator of the extension. In the defectless and unibranched case, this concept leads to a generalization of a classical result of Ore about the existence of $p$-regular generators for number fields. Also, we find what valuation-theoretic conditions characterize the extensions having depth one.
