* Reasons for permanent tooth extractions in Taiwan.
- There has been no study in Taiwan on reasons for extraction of permanent teeth. This study aimed to determine the reasons for permanent teeth extraction in Taiwan. This study performed a secondary data analysis based on the National Health Insurance Research Database. The 2009 database was adopted and there are 131 104 records of dental visits in the database; among them, 4958 visits (from 4811 patients) have a coding of extraction. The results showed that dental caries (55.3%) was the main reason for tooth extraction, followed by periodontal disease (22.1%). Extraction because of dental caries was commonly observed in all age-groups, and extractions because of periodontal disease increased in those older than 35 years. Maxillary and mandibular third molar were the most frequently removed tooth types, and most were extracted because of dental caries and impaction respectively.
