Among 2,103 total diabetic patients presented to the department, 1,618 diabetic patients have their complete record for tooth extractions. The primary reasons for exodontia specified in the records were Caries, Periodontitis, others. Others include those patients who have extractions either due to preprosthetic purpose, trauma or fracture or any other reason other than caries and periodontitis. The data was analysed through SPSS 22. The mean age presentation was 47.50 +/- 19.82 years and the age range 25-70 years. There were 1,618 extractions carried out in 2,103 subjects [76.94%]. The female diabetic patients predominate n=983 [60.75%] the male patients n=635 [39.25%]. Caries was the dominant cause of tooth extraction in both subjects n= 1042 [64.40%] followed by periodontitis n= 416 [25.71%] and others n=160 [9.90%].
