Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Loss of teeth due to extractions continues to be a major public health problem in the population. Many reasons have been given to account for such extractions, including the presence of dental caries, root stumps, therapeutic reasons, periodontal disease, trauma, and prosthetic procedures. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the reasons for extractions of permanent teeth in the regional population. Materials and Methods: During the period of 6 months, data were recorded from the patients those who required the teeth extraction for the treatment, using a specially designed survey form. The reasons for tooth extraction were assigned to different causes, i.e., dental caries, root stumps, periodontitis, trauma, impaction, therapeutic and retained deciduous, and others. The data requested for each extraction were age of the patient, sex, diagnosis, number of teeth, anterior teeth, and posterior teeth. Results: A total of 297 permanent teeth were extracted from 200 patients during the study period of 6 months from January to June 2018. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to above 65 years. A total of 297 teeth were extracted, of which 95 (47.5 %) were male and 105 (52.5%) were female patients. A largest number of teeth were extracted in the age groups of 35–44 in females (15%) and 25–34 in males (13.5%). Conclusion: Periodontitis (37%) was found to be the main cause of tooth extraction followed by dental caries (29%) in the study population.
