RESUMENEl objetivo del presente trabajo es dar a conocer las causas de las extracciones dentales en el Servicio Navarro de Salud-Osasunbidea (SNS-O). Durante 6 meses se registraron todas las extracciones dentales realizadas en las consultas de Odontología del SNS-O en Pamplona. Se registraron datos por cada extracción realizada. Se anotó la edad y sexo del paciente, el diente extraído y la causa de la exodoncia. Las causas que se consideraron fueron: periodoncia, caries, mixta, ortodoncia, fractura y otras. Se realizaron 4.259 extracciones; el 62,1% se efectuaron en hombres y el 37,9% en mujeres (proporción diferente de la población general, p < 0,0001). La edad media fue 53,14 años (DE = 16,77 años; IC 95%: 52,62 a 53,66 años). Se extrajeron por caries el 49,9%, por causas periodontales el 33,7%, por causas mixtas el 3,6%, por ortodoncia el 1,6%, por fractura el 0,7%, por otras causas el 10,4%. Hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la distribución por sexos de las exodoncias por causa periodontal (p = 0,0001), ortodoncia (p < 0,0001) y otras causas (p = 0,0009). La edad media de las exodoncias por periodoncia, acumuladas en dientes anteriores, fue mayor que por caries (p < 0,0001), acumuladas en dientes posteriores. La edad media de las exodoncias por ortodoncia fue de 20,16 años (p < 0,0001 con todas las demás causas). ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to show the causes of the dental extractions in the Navarra Health Service-Osasunbidea. For 6 months all the dental extractions carried out in the clinics of the Navarra Health Service in Pamplona were registered. Data was registered for each extraction carried out. A note was made of the age and sex of the patient, the tooth extracted and the cause of the exodontia. The causes considered were: periodontia, caries, mixed causes, orthodontia, fracture and others. 4,259 extractions were carried out; 62.1% were on men and 37.9% on women (significatively different from the general population, p < 0.0001). The average age was 53.14 years (SD = 16.77 years, 95% CI: 52.62 to 53.66 years). 49.9% of extractions were due to caries, 33.7% for periodontal reasons, 3.6% for mixed causes, 1.6% for orthodontia, 0.7% because of fracture, and 10.4% for other causes. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution by sexes of the exodontias due to periodontia (p = 0.0001), orthodontia (p < 0.0001) and other causes ((p = 0.0009). The average age of the exodontias due to periodontia, accumulated in the front teeth, was greater than that for caries (p < 0.0001), accumulated in the back teeth. The average age of the exodontias due to orthodontia was 20.16 years (p < 0.0001 with all of the other causes).
