“…Additionally, periodic reports about the reasons for primary teeth extraction may help update oral health programs, thereby effectively preventing the loss of primary teeth (2,3). Recent studies have indicated that tooth caries is the most important reason for extraction of primary teeth in children (4)(5)(6)(7). In addition to the occurrence of caries, dental trauma, periodontal disease, and orthodontic and physiological factors have also been identified as reasons for extraction of primary teeth (2,3,5,8,9).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the reasons for the extraction of primary teeth in primary school-age children in Zonguldak, Turkey. MaterialsandMethods:Age, sex, medical condition, type of tooth extracted, and the reason for the primary teeth extraction were examined retrospectively in the records of patients who applied to Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pedodontics between 2012 and 2016. As a result of the examination, information about the reasons for the primary teeth extraction, the type of tooth extracted, and each patient's age and gender were collected and analyzed.Results: A total of 2429 primary teeth were extracted from 1812 children (1013 females and 799 males). Caries (51.6%) was the most frequent reason for extraction of primary teeth. Primary molar teeth (73.7%) were the most common type of teeth was extracted. When the distribution of the reasons for extraction was examined based on age groups, the most prominent reason in the 7-, 8-, and 9-year-old age group was tooth caries (p<0.05), whereas physiologic mobility was the most prominent reason in the 10-and 11-year-old age groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on this study's findings, it can be obtained that tooth caries is the most common reason for extraction of primary teeth in primary school-age children in Zonguldak, Turkey. The most common type of tooth extracted was a primary molar tooth. Oral and dental health programs should be developed and implemented to reduce primary tooth extraction caused by tooth caries.Amaç: Süt dişi çekim nedenlerinin belirlenmesi ülkelerin sağlık politikalarını oluştururken gerekli önlemleri almaları açısından önem taşımaktadır.

Childhood tooth extraction is widespread in developing nations especially in sub-Saharan African owing to high prevalence of oral diseases in the population. Purpose of this study is to analyze the reasons and pattern of tooth extraction among children from Northwest Nigeria. Case records of children <14 years seen at the dental clinic of the Federal Medical centre, Gusau, Zamfara state between January 2011 and December 2012 were retrieved from the Medical Records Department and analyzed for analyzed for gender, age, indication for extraction and tooth/teeth extracted. A total of 181 teeth were extracted in 127 patients (1.4 extractions per patients) over a 2 years study period. There were 66 (51.9%) males and 61 (48.1%) females (M:F = 1.08:1). Dental caries and its sequelae 141 (77.9%) was the leading aetiology for tooth extraction followed by trauma 24 (13.3%). Permanent teeth 121 (66.9%) were twice frequently extracted than primary teeth 60 (33.1%). Mandibular teeth 112 (61.9%) were more commonly extracted than maxillary teeth 69 (38.1%). Posterior teeth 115 (63.5%) extractions nearly double that of anterior teeth 66 (36.5%). First permanent molar extraction predominates 51 (28.1%). Majority of the extractions occurred in the 6-9 years age group 96 (53%). Mandibular posteriors constituted the principal teeth removed in the 6-9 years and 10-13 years age groups. In contrast, maxillary anteriors were the main teeth extracted in the younger age group of 0-5 years. For maxillary anteriors trauma was the highest indication for tooth extraction. In conclusion, dental caries and its sequelae was the primary reason for tooth extraction in the study across all age groups and trauma accounted signifi cantly for removal of maxillary anteriors. Thus, there is a need to critically embark on public enlightenment campaign on preventive oral health.
