“…21,22 This disparity might be attributed to the fact that females visit the dentist more than males and care more about aesthetics and oral health than males do. 23 Our findings showed that caries is the most common cause of teeth extraction, followed by periodontal diseases. These problems are attributed to high dietary intake of refined sugar, inadequate oral hygiene, and lack of awareness regarding timely dental check-ups in these populations (►Table 2).…”

Permanent First Mandibular Molar: Loss Prevalence and Pattern among Saudis in Al-Ahsa

et al. 2022

Objectives The permanent first mandibular molar (PFMM) is the first tooth to erupt, usually at the age of 6 years. It is the most effective oral masticatory unit due to its wide occlusal surface and its role in favorable occlusion. This study describes the prevalence of PFMM loss and the reasons for extraction in a group of King Faisal Dental Complex Clinics (KFUDC) Saudi attendees. In addition, to report postextraction complications, consider the gender, age, and the time elapsed from the moment of the extraction. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in January to April 2020, focusing on the loss of PFMM among a group of Saudis attending KFUDC in Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia. A total of 417 participants were recruited. The inclusion criteria were adults aged ≥ 18 years. The principal investigator performed all the necessary measures for calibration in the forms of training on clinical examination and interviews. Statistical Analysis Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science, version 25 (SPSS Inc., Illinois, United States). Result Four hundred seventeen attendees participated in the present study. Majority were males 73.9% (308), and 26.1% (109) females. A third, 30% (125), reported missing PFMM; the overwhelming majority reported the reason for extraction as caries 93.6% (117).On clinical examination, 80.8% (101) had complications; drifting of adjacent teeth was the most common complication, 57.6% (72), followed by supraeruption in 23.2% (29).More males than females reported missing PFMM (22.8 and 7.2%, respectively), and those ≥ 25 years reported more missing PFMM than younger (17.5 and 12.5%, p ≤ 0.000). Those confirmed with systemic diseases reported more missing PFMM than their counterpart (23.3 and 6.7%, p ≤ 0.01).Those with good oral hygiene reported less missing PFMM than their poor oral hygiene counterparts (27.8 and 34%). Those who had good knowledge about the complications of early extraction of PFMM stated less missing PFMM than their counterparts (15.6 and 14.4%, p ≤ 0.01). Conclusion This study indicated that PFMM were the most common extracted tooth. Caries is the principal reason for tooth extraction among the studied population, followed by periodontal diseases. Emphasis on preventing dental caries is essential to maintain a socially and economically productive life and reduce the burden of oral disease.

“…This finding was by Nuvvula et al, and Ahmed et al, who reported that tooth loss is more prevalent in females than males. 11,12 In this study, although the majority (55.8%) of participants had acquired undergraduate education, this only (58.1%) were unaware of the consequences of tooth loss. Multiple causes of tooth loss such as caries, periodontal diseases, trauma and cancer have been documented in the literature.…”

“…Multiple causes of tooth loss such as caries, periodontal diseases, trauma and cancer have been documented in the literature. 12 In our study, most subjects had lost their teeth due to caries; 373 (57.2%) lacked awareness of basic oral hygiene maintenance within the general population. Our findings follow Nuvvula et al, Hakam et al, and Jerms et al, who concluded that dental caries is the most prevalent cause of missing teeth.…”

“…This is in contrast to another study, in which most females (52.4%) and some males (28.9%) were unaware of the consequences. 12 When education level was compared with know-ledge about the consequences of missing teeth, no significant difference (p=0.6) was found. This is as per a study by Dosumu et al, 17 who also concluded that there was no significant difference between the knowledge of the consequences of missing teeth on level of education.…”

Objective: To determine the recognition level of the consequences of missing teeth in Pakistani adults. Study Design: Cross-Sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine, Karachi Pakistan, from Jul to Dec 2019. Methodology: A well-structured and validated questionnaire filled by 652 partially dentate patients was included in the study. Results: Despite having some education, the individuals showed poor knowledge of the consequences of missing teeth. Only 184 (28.2%) and 221 (33.9%) were aware of supra-eruption and drifting, respectively. 330 (50.6%) and 269 (41.3%) were unaware of the temporomandibular joint problems and speech difficulties. However, the majority were aware of masticatory problems, 562 (86.2%) and 460 (70.6%) self-confidence issues. There was no significant association (r=-0.70, p=0.7) and (0.03, p=0.9) between gender with number and aetiology of missing teeth. At the same time, a moderate relationship (rho=0.7) with no significant difference (p=0.08) was found between gender and knowledge of consequences. A negative relationship (r -0.12)with a significant difference (p<0.02) was found between education level and aetiology. Moreover, no significant association was found (rho -0.03, p=0.3) and (-0.06, p=0.6) between education level with number and knowledge about the consequences of missing teeth. Conclusion: The knowledge and understanding of the general population on matters that are so important and relevant in the long run to each individual’s Oral Health-Related Quality of Life are of special concern. Therefore, it is essential for dentists and other health care providers to educate and remember the importance of knowing the inevitable consequences of.....

“…20,26 Örneğin 2020 yılı başlarında Hindistan'da yapılan çalışmada en sık diş çekim nedeni olarak periodontal hastalık bulunmuşken, 2019 yılı sonlarında Suudi Arabistan'da yapılan çalışmada en sık diş çekim nedeni çürük olarak bulunmuştur. 26,27 Çalışmaların yayınlandığı tarihler dikkate alındığında her iki çalışmanın da pandemi döneminden önce yapıldığı görülmektedir. Bizim çalışmamızda da pandemi öncesi dönemde en sık diş çekim nedeni çürük olarak belirlenmiştir.…”

olmakla birlikte gelişmekte olan ülkelerde halen en yaygın diş çekim sebepleridir. 2 Diğer diş çekimi endikasyonları ise; travma, perikoronitis, protetik endikasyon, ortodontik endikasyon olarak sıralanabilir. 3 Diş hekimliğinde yaşanan gelişmelerle birlikte son yıllarda daha konservatif tedaviler uygulansa da bazı durumlarda diş çekimi son tedavi seçeneği olmaktadır. 1 Diş çürüğü ve periodontal hastalık önlenebilir durumlar, ÖZ Covid-19 Pandemisi Döneminde Orta Karadeniz Bölgesindeki Diş Çekim Endikasyonlarının Değerlendirilmesi Amaç: 2019 yılı sonlarında Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti'nin Wuhan eyaletinde diş hekimliği uygulamalarını da önemli ölçüde etkileyen pnömoni salgını görülmüştür. Salgının 2020 yılında hızla küresel ölçekte yayılmasıyla beraber Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından pandemi ilan edilmiştir. Sağlık hizmetine ihtiyacın arttığı pandemi döneminde, sağlık merkezleri bulaş riskine açık yerler haline geldiğinden elektif işlemler ertelenmiş, sağlık merkezleri pandemi koşullarına uygun şekilde çalışmaya başlamıştır. Özellikle diş hekimliği; aerosol oluşumu ve yakın temas nedeniyle yüksek bulaş riskiyle karşı karşıya olan meslek grubu olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı pandemi dönemindeki diş çekim endikasyonlarını 2019'un aynı dönemindeki diş çekim endikasyonları ile karşılaştırarak pandemi koşullarının diş hekimliğine etkisini araştırmaktır.
