“…A recent statistical analysis by the Central Department of Statistics and Information of Saudi Arabia showed that more than 75% of the Saudi population is aged 0–39 years and that this young generation has benefited from preventive programs implemented by many dental schools and governmental hospitals 23. Although periodontal disease has been shown to be the second major reason for tooth extraction in many studies,14,18,20,24 the present study shows that extraction for orthodontic problems was the second major reason for tooth extraction among Saudis (Figure 2). These findings are similar to those of a study conducted in Jordan, and could be related to the increasing interest in esthetic considerations in the general population 25.…”

“…The higher percentage of extractions in females may be due to their commitment to managing dental problems compared with males. The percentage of extraction of teeth due to caries in the literature ranges from 20% to 60% 13,14,17,18,20–22.

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons for and patterns of extraction of permanent teeth in a subset of the Saudi population.MethodsDuring a 3-month period, dentists were asked to record, using a specially designed survey form, the reasons for every extraction of a permanent tooth. The reasons for tooth extraction were assigned to different causes, ie, dental caries, periodontal disease, eruption problems, trauma, orthodontics, failed root canal treatment, and others. The data requested for each extraction were: patient age, gender, nationality, and type of tooth removed and the reason for its extraction.ResultsThe highest percentage of extractions was observed in young females aged 10–30 years. Presence of caries was observed to be the main reason for extraction (50.2%) followed by orthodontic problems (18.2%), eruption problems (17.5%), and periodontal problems (8.2%). The most frequently extracted posterior teeth were the third mandibular molar (19.4%), the third maxillary molar (16.4%), the first maxillary premolar (13.2%), and the first mandibular molar (10.9%).ConclusionDental caries was found to be the most common reason for 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. The highest percentage of extractions was observed in young females aged 10–30 years.

“…Severe periodontitis that occurs in 8.5% of US and 11% of worldwide adult humans, (Kassebaum et al, 2014; Thornton-Evans et al, 2013), remains one of the two major causes for tooth extraction in the many adults who forego preventive dental care (Petersen, 2008). 20–42% of teeth extracted worldwide in adults are periodontally-involved (McCaul, Jenkins, & Kay, 2001; Aida et al, 2006; Vignarajah, 1993; Ong, Yeo, & Bhole, 1996; Reich & Hiller, 1993). The high prevalence of SP in humans emphasizes the potential value of preclinical models of human SP.…”

Objective To characterize in rice rats: (a) periodontitis (PD) progress with feeding of standard laboratory rat chow (STD) during ages 4–80 weeks; and (b) PD progress with feeding of a high sucrose-casein (H-SC) diet during young adulthood. Methods One group (N = 12) was euthanized at age 4 weeks (Baseline). Four groups (N = 8–16) consumed a STD diet from baseline and were necropsied at ages 22, 30, 52, and 80 weeks. Three groups (N= 10–16) consumed an H-SC diet from baseline. Two were necropsied at ages 22 and 30 weeks, respectively. The third switched to the STD diet at age 22 weeks and was necropsied at age 30 weeks. All mandibles/maxillae were assessed by histometry for degree of periodontal inflammation (PD Score), alveolar crest height (ACH, mm), and horizontal alveolar bone height (hABH, mm2). Results In STD diet rats aged ≥30 weeks, all endpoints were worse (P < 0.05) than at Baseline. In H-SC diet rats aged ≥22 weeks, all endpoints were worse than at Baseline (P < 0.05). At age 22 weeks, all endpoints were worse in the H-SC group than in the STD group (P < 0.05). By age 30 weeks, the STD and H-SC groups did not differ. Conclusions 1) STD diet fed rice rats develop moderate/severe PD by age 30 weeks; 2) an H-SC diet accelerates moderate/severe PD development; and 3) switching to a STD diet does not halt/reverse PD that was accelerated by an H-SC diet. These data further clarify use of the rice rat as a PD model.

“…It is estimated that between 30 and 35% of all tooth extractions are due to periodontitis, while approximately one-half are the result of dental caries [1]. Since the association between tooth extraction and dental caries has been shown to considerably vary with age [29], assessing the presence of periodontal disease by extent of tooth loss alone may be inadequate to examine the link between periodontal disease and cancer; studies in this area may, however, provide some insights into the overall role of oral health in relation to malignant neoplasms. If clinical exams are not feasible, or are not carried out in a standardized manner, measures such as reported history of periodontal disease, self-reported tooth loss due to periodontal disease, or bitewing radiographs may provide a better assessment of the presence of periodontal disease.…”

Recent studies have investigated the association between periodontal disease, tooth loss, and several systemic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and preterm birth. Periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory condition, is highly prevalent in adult populations around the world, and may be preventable. Estimates of prevalence vary between races and geographic regions, with a marked increase in the occurrence of periodontal disease with advancing age. Worldwide estimates for the prevalence of severe periodontal disease generally range from 10 to 15%. The relationship between oral health and cancer has been examined for a number of specific cancer sites. Several studies have reported associations between periodontal disease or tooth loss and risk of oral, upper gastrointestinal, lung, and pancreatic cancer in different populations. In a number of studies, these associations persisted after adjustment for major risk factors, including cigarette smoking and socioeconomic status. This review provides a summary of these findings, discusses possible biological mechanisms involved, and raises methodological issues related to studying these relationships.

The reasons for extraction of permanent teeth in Scotland: a 15-year follow-up study

Abstract: Caries and its sequelae remain the most important cause of tooth loss throughout adult life in Scotland and, therefore, caries prevention and maintenance of restorations are of great importance at all ages.
