Introduction: Dental extraction is an irreversible treatment and knowledge about patient’s perspective to submit an extraction request is essential to help develop guidelines that support oral surgeons in describing the ethical and legal issues, guiding them in decision-making, and responding to extraction requests. This study was planned to investigate the potential correlations between the predictors and extraction of permanent tooth that could be saved, in our area of practice. Methods: The patients were divided into two categories; Group 1: teeth can be saved and Group 2: teeth cannot be saved. Habits of the patients, their socio-demographic variables, medical history, reasons for a dental visit, reason for teeth extraction, and anatomical location of teeth were analyzed as a risk factor for preventable teeth loss using student t-test or chi-square test where appropriate. Results: Preventable tooth loss occurred more commonly at the age of 41 to 50 years of life. Low educational...

Background: Dental anxiety remains a common problem encountered amongst those who are going to have a dental extraction procedure. Objective: The objective of the current study was to test the validity and reliability of the modified dental anxiety scale for dental extraction procedure (MDAS-DEP). Methods: The current study was conducted by using a cross-sectional survey method on one hundred and thirty-two (69 female; 63 male) participants who were about to go through the dental extraction procedure. A modified version of the MDAS was used in the current study. The questions of the original MDAS were replaced by specific questions about the dental extraction procedure, accompanied by five Likert-type answers. Reliability was measured by referring to the Cronbach’s alpha value whilst construct validity was measured by using Pearson’s correlation. Results: The analysis of the current study showed a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.822 Whilst the Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed tha...

The aim of this study was to examine the reasons for dental extraction and to determine the pattern of tooth loss in patients seeking care at the oral surgery teaching clinics in the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan, over a 3-year period. Data pertaining to the dental extractions of 2435 patients were analyzed. The results showed that 63.8% of the teeth included in this study were extracted because of dental caries, 22.9% because of periodontal disease, and 11.0% for prosthetic reasons. Pericoronitis, orthodontic treatment, trauma, and eruption problems accounted for 2.4% of the reported extractions. The upper premolars were the teeth most commonly extracted, and the lower first and second molars were the teeth most commonly extracted because of dental caries. The logistic regression test revealed that extraction because of dental caries occurred mostly in the group aged 21 to 30 years (P < .001). Periodontal disease was not likely the cause of extr...

Osadolor Aisosa
Background: Compliance with post-extraction instructions and adequate patient education after oral surgical procedures can improve patient satisfaction and decrease post-operative morbidity. Objective: To determine the compliance with post-extraction instructions among dental patients presenting at a secondary healthcare facility in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A prospective study of dental patients, who presented at the Dental department, Central Hospital Benin, Edo State, Nigeria, was done between September 2019 and June 2020. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on compliance with post-extraction instructions, and to clinically assess the extraction socket. Categorical data were expressed as frequencies and percentages. Mean percentage compliance was expressed as poor: < 50%, fair: 50%-69.99%, good: ≥ 70%. Results: A total of 218 participants were recruited for this study; however, 88 patients presented at the review appointment date giving a response rate of 40.4%. Participants comprised 37 males and 51 females, all receiving instructions via the verbal route. The overall mean percentage compliance of the respondents was 90.7%, and the incidence of alveolar osteitis was 1.1%. Satisfaction with the treatment given was excellent. Conclusion: This study showed excellent compliance with post-extraction instructions; the mean percentage compliance among respondents was good. A low incidence of localised alveolar osteitis was recorded with a predilection for the maxillary jaw and the female sex.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the reason for the extraction of permanent and deciduous teeth, and to investigate the influence of patients’ age and sex in the western part of Turkey. Methods: 5500 patients being admitted to Ege University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, for tooth extraction between January and December 2001, were included into the study. Data were provided on reasons for extraction of 6570 teeth from 5500 patients during 12 months, and analyzed using standard statistical program (SPSS). Chi-square tests were used to assess whether there were significant associations between the reason for extraction and gender, age or tooth type. Results: Dental caries and its complications were the primary reason of tooth extractions (39.3%), followed by eruption problems (23.5%) and periodontal disease (19.8%). Under 20 years of age, orthodontic indications were the main reason, whereas in the 21-40 age group, eruption ...
