Background. Tooth loss is an easily identifiable outcome that summarizes a complex suite of factors in an individual’s history of dental disease and its treatment by dental services over a lifetime. Assessment of overall tooth loss data is essential for epidemiologically evaluating the adequacy of dental care provided at a systems level, as well as for placing in context tooth loss for non-disease causes. For example, when derived from prosthetic treatment planning, the latter may unfortunately lead to some teeth being extracted (pulled) for the sake of better comprehensive clinical results. The objective of the present manuscript was to identify the contribution to overall tooth loss, by extraction of permanent teeth because of prosthetic treatment reasons.Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study included sex, age, total number of extractions performed by subject, sextant (anterior vs. posterior), group of teeth (incisors, canines, premolars and molars), upper or lower arch, and the main reason underlying extraction (extraction for any reason vs. prosthetic treatment), in patients 18 years of age and older seeking care at a dental school clinic in Mexico. A multivariate logistic regression model was generated.Results. A total of 749 teeth were extracted in 331 patients; 161 teeth (21.5% of total) were extracted for explicit prosthetic treatment indications. As age increased, the likelihood of having an extraction for prosthetic reasons increased 3% (OR = 1.03, p < 0.001). Women (OR = 1.57, p < 0.05) were more likely to be in this situation, and molars (OR = 2.70, p < 0.001) were most at risk. As the total number of extractions increased, the risk of having an extraction for prosthetic reasons decreased (OR = 0.94, p < 0.05).Conclusions. A significant amount (21.5%) of the extractions of permanent teeth were performed for prosthetic reasons in this dental school clinical environment; age, sex, type of tooth, and the total number of extractions moderated such pattern.

“…More than half patients extracted teeth in the age of 20 to 39 (52.9%), while patients below 20 had the smallest proportion (5.20%). These may be due to the fact that caries was thought to be easily found at a young people [21] and most patients who received orthodontic treatment and extracted third molars were concentrated in the age of 20-39 years [24,26]. We also found patients below 20 years extracted teeth mainly because of retained primary tooth and orthodontic treatment.…”

“…Investigations on the reasons for tooth extraction have been wildly conducted . There are various of potential reasons for tooth extraction, including dental caries, periodontal disease, orthodontic reason, supernumerary tooth, impacted tooth and so on [17,19,21,22,26]. The methods and diagnostic criteria of those investigations were analogous, but the primary causes of extractions varied from different countries and regions.…”

Background Few related surveys about reasons for tooth extraction was shown in mainland China. Our aim was to investigate the primary reasons and main pattern for extractions among patients presenting at a hospital of stomatology in Guangzhou, China. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 3 months, 2000 patients who underwent tooth extraction were recorded and analyzed by age, gender, the tooth type and the extraction reasons. Chi-square test was used to examine the differences in the extraction reasons between different genders, age groups and tooth types. Results A total of 3106 teeth were removed from 2000 patients, with an age ranging from 6 to 91. This study revealed details of extraction reasons and suggested that dental caries (25.42%) was the main reasons for tooth extraction and pointed out preventive extraction of third molar (19.89%) had displaced periodontal diseases (12.89%) as the dominant reason for extractions. Overall, third molar was the most frequently extracted tooth (1567). Significant statistical differences were found among different age groups, genders and tooth types for tooth extraction reasons (p༜0.05). For example, caries was the main reason for tooth extraction in 30–59 years old patients, while 20–29 years old patients asked for preventive extraction of third molar teeth mostly. Posterior teeth were mostly removed because of caries and periodontal disease was the leading cause for anterior teeth extraction. Conclusions We found the primary reasons and the new patterns for tooth extraction among patients in Guangzhou. It was proposed for the first time that the dominant reason for extractions was preventive extraction of third molar. Our finding could help to put forward some predictors and adjust the preventive strategies in oral disorders.

“…Because the modifying effects are different, we posit that model selection should be made according to the nature of the variable. It is necessary to implement strategies in oral health programmes to improve the oral health status of this particular school population and avoid future loss of teeth due to caries (11,13,34).…”
