Abstract

Introduction: Understanding the patterns and reasons why children’s primary teeth are extracted is crucial to improve oral health outcomes among children. Objective: This retrospective study aimed to determine the patterns and reasons for primary teeth extraction in children attending a dental teaching clinic in Malaysia. Materials and methods: Between 2009 and 2019, dental records were screened by undergraduate students for patients aged under 16 years who had undergone primary tooth extraction. Data were collected on age, gender, indications and year of tooth extraction, as well as type of tooth extracted. Descriptive statistics and bivariate association analysis were performed. A p value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 1,785 teeth were extracted. Females had more tooth extractions than males. Tooth extraction was common among the 7–9 years old group (47.2%). The most frequently extracted primary tooth was the first molar (29.1%), whereas the lateral incisor was the least (11.7%). Extraction due to dental caries was the main reason among all age groups (57.5%), followed by shedding time (38.1%). Statistical differences were found between patterns and reasons for tooth extraction and age groups (p< 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in terms of the age and year of extraction (p> 0.05). Conclusions: First molars were the most frequently extracted teeth. Dental caries and its sequelae remain the foremost cause of dental extraction among this sample of Malaysian children. The development of appropriate oral health education programs on the importance of primary teeth, alongside early dental examination, are recommended to prevent tooth extraction.
参加儿科牙科教学诊所的儿童拔乳牙的模式和原因
引言:了解儿童乳牙拔除的模式和原因对于改善儿童口腔健康状况至关重要。目的:本回顾性研究旨在确定马来西亚牙科教学诊所儿童乳牙拔除的模式和原因。材料和方法:2009年至2019年间,本科生对16岁以下接受过初次拔牙的患者的牙科记录进行了筛查。收集了年龄、性别、指征、拔牙年份以及拔牙类型的数据。进行描述性统计和双变量关联分析。p值≤0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果:共拔除1785颗牙齿。女性的拔牙次数比男性多。拔牙在7-9岁年龄组中很常见(47.2%)。最常见的乳牙是第一磨牙(29.1%),而侧切牙最少(11.7%)。在所有年龄组中,龋齿导致的拔牙是主要原因(57.5%),其次是脱落时间(38.1%)。拔牙模式和原因与年龄组之间存在统计学差异(p<0.05)。但在年龄和拔牙年份方面没有显著差异(p>0.05)。结论:第一磨牙是最常拔牙的牙齿。龋齿及其后遗症仍然是马来西亚儿童拔牙的首要原因。建议制定关于乳牙重要性的适当口腔健康教育计划,同时进行早期牙齿检查,以防止拔牙。
