Objectives: the aim of the study was to examine the reasons for dental extraction and to determine the pattern of extractions in patients seeking care at the Dr. Ishrat ul Ibad Institute of Oral Health Sciences [DIKIOHS] over a period of 5 months
Methods: a cross-sectional study on 1300 patients aged between 4-80yrs was conducted at the Oral Biology Department of DIKIOHS. Information regarding the patients age, sex, type of tooth extracted and reason for extraction was recorded. Results were compiled and analyzed using SPSS version 15
Results: total 1300 study cases with 1705 extractions were evaluated. Out of the total 594 [45.69%] were females while 706 were males [54.3%] with 780 and 925 extractions respectively. The most common reason for tooth extraction for both genders was caries. The total population was divided into 3 age groups, 4 - 20 yrs, 20 - 40 yrs and 40 - 80 yrs. The number of extractions in each group was 240, 807 and 658 respectively. Hence the age group with the most frequent number of tooth extractions was 20 - 40 years. The most common type of extracted tooth in the study population was tooth number 36 [mandibular permanent left first molar] and the least common was tooth number 81 [mandibular deciduous right central incisor]
Conclusion: the most common reason for extraction in the present study was found to be dental caries. The age group with the most extractions was between 20 - 40 years which indicates that awareness regarding oral hygiene needs to be improved in young adults
