Abstract

Aim: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the extraction frequencies of primary and permanent teeth in Turkish pediatric dental patients according to age and sex.
Materials and Methods: Data collected from 21,856 patients aged 0–16 between 2012 and 2021 were evaluated. Primary teeth, permanent first molars, and premolar teeth extraction were evaluated separately.Statistical analyses were performed using student t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Games-Howell post hoc, and chi-square tests. The statistical significance level was set at 0.05 (p<0.05).
Results: The most frequently extracted permanent teeth were the mandibular first molars, upper first molars, and upper premolars. The most common ages of tooth extraction were 8, 9, and 7 respectively (p<0.05). Moreover, upper primary first molars were extracted in boys, and lower primary first molars were extracted in girls (p<0.001).
Conclusion
Although great developments in smart technological devices and innovations in dentistry, tooth caries, and related tooth extractions are still the most common type of dental treatment because the negative results of early tooth extraction in the pediatric population may cause greater adverse effects compared to elderly individuals, the level of dental health awareness should be enhanced by increasing oral hygiene education.
