The prevalence of early loss of primary molars and its consequences: A retrospective study
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim and objectives: The objective of the research was to evaluate the prevalence of early loss of primary molars and its main consequences. Material and methods: The study was conducted in the Paediatric Department of the Faculty of Dental Medicine of “Carol Davila” UMP, Bucharest. The study sample comprised 154 patients (mean age 7.91±0.24 years), consulted over a period of 2 years. Statistical determinations were performed using Chi-squared tests (significance level=95%; p≤0.05). Results: Early loss of a primary molar was recorded in 54.6% of patients. Premature loss registered in 12.35% of the primary molars. Space reduction after early extraction was recorded especially in patients over 8 years of age (49.5%) and in all premature tooth losses older than 2 years. Conclusions: The prevalence of early loss of primary molars was high. The first lower primary molars were the most commonly missing teeth.
