ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to assess the teeth most commonly extracted due to periodontal disease. A retrospective study was conducted using the case records of patients in a private institution between June 2019 to March 2020. A total of 250 patients including 117 males and 133 females, diagnosed with periodontitis were recruited. The patients were categorized based on their age as: 35-40 years, 41-45 years, 46-50 years, 51-55 years, 56-60 years and 61-65 years. Data regarding the periodontal status and tooth extracted were collected from their records. Descriptive and inferential statistics were done using SPSS software. Out of 250 patients, mandibular posteriors were extracted for 116 patients (46.4%), mandibular anteriors for 54 patients (21.6%), maxillary posteriors for 52 patients (20.8%) and maxillary anteriors for 28 patients were extracted (11.2%). The association between age groups and teeth extracted due to periodontitis was assessed and was found to be statistically significant (p=0.002). Also, the association between gender and teeth extracted due to periodontitis was assessed and was found to be not statistically significant (p=0.32). The findings of the present study showed that teeth most commonly extracted due to periodontal disease were mandibular posteriors (46.4%). Keywords: Age; Extraction; Gender; Periodontitis
