Abstract
Planned extraction of permanent teeth for orthodontic purposes is a challenging factor for the stability of the treatment, and for successful esthetic and functional results. Dental extractions can also be due to caries, traumatic injuries and other periodontal conditions. The most common reasons for extracting permanent premolars needs further analysis. Hence a study was conducted to assess the common reasons for extraction of premolars among children between 12 to 18 years of age. A total of 86000 dental records were analysed from the records of patients attending the dental institute and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria the final study sample consisted of 100 patients who underwent premolar tooth extractions. Patient details, tooth extracted and the reasons for extraction of premolars were noted. Data was tabulated and subjected to Chi-square test in SPSS software. The most common reason for extraction of premolars among children between 12-18 years of age was orthodontic treatment. This was noticed predominantly in children who were females due to esthetic concerns.
