Abstract

Objective: To determine the major causes and patterns of loss in permanent dentition from district Nowshera, Pakistan.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at pre authorized oral health unit (Khairabad District Nowshera Khyber Pukhtoon khwa Pakistan). Records of patients, who had extraction of teeth at the oral health unit of Rural Health Center Khairabad between January 2018 and June 2019, were recorded on Pre Designed Performa of District Health Information System. Patients who were <16 years old at the time of treatment were excluded from the study. Data on age, gender, presenting complaint, type of tooth, and reason for extraction were documented. Reasons for extraction were classified in seven categories.Statistical analyses were done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).

Results: A total of 2296 permanent teeth were extracted of which 1097 (47.78%) teeth were extracted due to caries and its sequelae, 660 (28.75%) due to periodontal disease, 230 (10.02%) for failed endodontic treatments, 185 (8.06%) due to pericoronitis, 111 (4.84%) due to trauma and 13 (0.57%) prosthodontic purposes.
