Analysis of Tooth Extraction Causes and Patterns

Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes and patterns of extraction of permanent teeth in the targeted population.
 METHODS: The study was conducted for a period of 11 months. An especially designed form was used to record the causes for extraction of a permanent tooth. Further, it was analyzed for age, gender, education, occupation, smoking, tooth position, endodontic treatment, chewing, esthetics, needs replacement, type of existing prosthesis, and causes for extraction. The various causes which were considered to determine association with the tooth extraction were dental caries, periodontal problems, trauma, orthodontics, prosthodontic failures, endodontic failures, and others.
 RESULTS: The percentage of extractions was almost the same in males and females aged. Maximum extractions were noticed in 36–45 years of age group (32.5%). The presence of caries was observed to be the main reason for extraction (68.1%), followed by periodontal problems (17.6%) and orthodontic problems (4.8%). The most frequently extracted posterior teeth were first mandibular molar (22.2%), followed by the third maxillary molar (15.2%).
 CONCLUSION: Dental caries was found to be the most common reason for the extraction of teeth. Molar teeth were found to be the most frequently extracted, with an increased number of extracted first premolars as a result of orthodontic treatment. Maxillary teeth are extracted more than mandibular, mainly due to caries and periodontal problems.

Patterns and predictors of tooth loss among partially dentate individuals in Jordan: A cross-sectional study

“…This is possibly due to salivary pooling protecting the lower teeth ( Cunha-Cruz et al, 2013 ). Similar findings were observed in other studies with more frequent extraction of maxillary teeth compared to mandibular ones ( Shareef et al, 2020 ). However, other reports have discovered that compared to maxillary molars, mandibular molars are more frequently extracted ( Sahibzada, 2016 ).…”

Pattern and causes of tooth extraction in patients reporting to GVPIHC and MT, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh

“…8 Sharif et al reported 9.9% cases with impaction problems in contrast to our study which reported only 1.46% of cases. 9 Other reasons for extraction in our study included failed root canal therapy, supernumerary teeth which accounted for 2.01% of cases similar to the study by Sahibzada et al 6 With regards to tooth type, the most commonly extracted tooth was first molar followed by second molar. This finding was in agreement with Passarelli et al where they reasoned it to the anatomical development of molar tooth that results in the formation of grooves and fissures making them more susceptible to dental caries.…”

“…1 Tooth extraction is an act of removing teeth from the alveolar and carried out if there is an indication that the tooth cannot be restored or maintained. 2,3 After the extraction action, it will leave a wound where the action was carried out and around it. 4 Wounds in tooth extraction have an opportunity for infection due to bacteria in the mouth.…”
