Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 24, Issue 7
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the reasons for extraction of permanent teeth in Al-Madinah Al- Munawarah. Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to 180 dental students and dentists at Taibah university dental clinic to record the patient's information, the extracted tooth number, and the reason for extraction. Collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (SPSS) and Chi-square test was used to compare between different variables. Results: Caries and its sequelae were the primary cause of extraction in all age groups (from 10- to > 60). The highest percentage of extraction due to caries and its sequelae was in (30-39) age group, whereas lowest percentage were in age groups (10-19) and (> 60 years). The number of extractions in females was higher than males in all groups except in-group of patients above 60 years. First molars were the most extracted teeth in both arches. Conclusion: Advanced caries was the main cause of extraction in all age groups, while periodontal diseases followed by prosthetic reasons were the most common causes in patients above 40 years old.
