Prevalence of Permanent First Molar Loss in Intermediate Schools in Dammam Area, Saudi Arabia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Dental caries is an infectious disease that can start as soon as the first primary tooth erupts. In permanent teeth, it can begin around the age of 6 years with the eruption of first permanent molar. It is a serious problem, which may lead to loss of teeth as a consequence of neglected oral hygiene, poor diet control, lack of parents’ education and monitoring in case of childhood caries. Also, prevalence of dental caries has been found to be higher in the low SES. The most common permanent teeth affected are molars as they are the first teeth to erupt. Molar teeth loss may have a negative impact on oral health, some of which include malocclusion, defect in mastication apparatus, complication on future treatments, and effect on self-esteem.
