“…The reason might be that the primary first molar erupts first than second molar and hence is present in the oral cavity for a longer duration of time. Premature loss of a primary molar tooth due to caries also results in not only loss of function, but also can lead to increased possibility that the other teeth may drift (12). This may influences the occlusion normal development and creates an increased need for orthodontic treatment (13).…”

BackgroundDue to high prevalence of oral diseases extraction of primary teeth is a common and a major concern in developing countries. These teeth are given least importance as they are believed to shed off automatically, thus leading to serious problems like crowding and malocclusion.Material and MethodsA cross sectional study was carried out among children aged 5 to 12 years among 1347 children. The data was recorded on a prestructured questionnaire. Reasons for extraction of teeth were based on Kay and Blinkhorn criteria.Results20.4% children were having tooth loss due to various reasons. The main reason for extraction was found to be caries in 64.3% followed by trauma in maxillary teeth among 43.02% of children.ConclusionsPresence of early loss of primary teeth result in occlusal disturbances and space loss among children. Hence, proper treatment regimens must be followed by the dental professionals and should be the need of the hour. Key words:Extraction, children, primary teeth, caries.

“…Premature loss of a primary tooth is of concern not only because of the loss of function but also because of the increased possibility that other teeth may drift [9]. Prediction of subsequent premature loss of primary teeth would be useful in determining treatment [10].…”

“…In addition, the premature loss of primary teeth reduces the arch length required for the succeeding tooth and, therefore, pre-disposes the crowding, rotation and impaction of the permanent teeth [9]. The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of the premature loss of primary teeth and its effect on malocclusion in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.…”

A high prevalence of premature loss of teeth was found in this study. This finding emphasizes the importance of increasing awareness levels about this issue and focuses attention on the need for more preventive efforts to maintain healthy and normal dentitions that would improve the masticatory function and aesthetics of individuals and the whole population. In addition, the findings emphasize the importance of the early detection of premature loss of primary teeth to prevent future malocclusion.

“…They argued that the erupted molars are passive, thereby not producing a mesial component of eruption force. Also, Lin et al have stated that the effects of space maintainers need to be re-evaluated in cases of a unilateral premature loss of a maxillary primary first molar 10 . The significant increase 3-D space changes after loss of a primary molar 387 in all of the arch dimensions during the observation period also reassures that there was no permanent loss of space clinically and that normal pattern of growth has occurred 11 .…”
