Investigating the Relationship Between Frequency and Etiology of Tooth Extraction with Demographic Factors and Health Status in Adults

Removal of permanent teeth is one of the outsourced dental practices in dental clinics. Statistics and reasons can be fluctuated due to societal changes at the community level, such as the economic category and the level of social and cultural empowerment of individuals, the phenomenon of aging, or any change in the age-old population of the population. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the frequency and etiology of tooth extraction with demographic factors and the health status of patients referred to the Faculty of Dentistry.

This cross-sectional study was conducted in spring of 2016 from 200 patients referred to Shahed University of Dentistry. Data were collected through a demographic questionnaire and a dental exam form. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software using ANOVA and T-test.

In this study were 59% of causes of caries tooth extraction, 21.9% periodontal and 22.4% of prosthodontics. There was a significant difference between educational level and tooth extraction due to periodontal and paradoxical causes and the status of employment and tooth extraction due to periodontal disease and economic status with periodontal and prosthodontics causes, paradigm and orthodontic findings. There was no significant difference between the causes of tooth extraction between single and married patients (p> 0.05). There was a significant difference between the causes of caries, periodontal, impaction and orthodontic according to the condition of oral hygiene (p <0.05).

Considering that decay is still one of the most common causes of tooth extraction, it is recommended that measures be taken to prevent dental caries. On the other hand, most people with a degree have a diploma and a diploma. Also, 80.8% of people are poorly and moderately in terms of their economic situation. Therefore, there is a pressing need to increase the level of awareness of the community and, in addition, to increase the service to the weak community of society.
