The presence of dental caries is the main reason for the placement and replacement of restorations. Maintaining restorations to a satisfactory clinical condition is a big challenge for the practitioners. The aim of the study is to associate the age and gender of the patients who underwent amalgam restorations in mandibular premolars with class 1 dental caries. This was a descriptive study, where all the patients data were collected by reviewing patients records and analysing the data of 86000 patients reported from June 2019 to March 2020 to the Department of conservative dentistry and endodontics, Private Dental college and hospitals, Chennai. Data was collected and tabulated, statistical analysis was done by SPSS – IBM. In this study, we observed that there is a significant difference between the age, gender and tooth number of patients who underwent amalgam restoration in mandibular premolar with class 1 dental caries. Amalgam restoration has served the profession well, and it is very useful in restorative dentistry. Thus the use of amalgam can be continued as a material of choice if esthetics is not a concern.

 Background. Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic disease of people worldwide, and also Indonesia. Based on Indonesian Basic Research from  Health Department, prevalence of dental caries in Indonesia was 90.5%. When dental caries rates are reported by gender, female are found to exhibit higher prevalence rates than male. Dental caries is disease of lifetime because it can spread out more throughout life and will continue until the teeth are destroyed without a proper treatment.  Purpose. The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of posterior teeth caries by the depth of cavity, age, and gender at RSGM FKG UNAIR.  Method. Analytic observational study with cross-sectional and stratified random sampling method. Result. Out of 420 patients with teeth caries, 169 male patients (40.2 %) and 251 female patients (59.8 %). The highest prevalence is deep caries (59.76%) and the lowest prevalence is superficial caries (15.95%). Conclusion. It was concluded that there is  correlation between the depth of cavity increase by age and female has higher caries prevalence than male but no significance differences between cavity depth and gender.

Abstract: The first molars of mandibulae are the first permanent teeth which erupt around 6-7 years old; therefore, they have the highest risk of dental caries. When the dental caries occurs in a tooth, it can lead to tooth extraction which results in new problems such as changing of teeth position, influence on occlusion, jaw joints, and mastication process. This study aimed to describe the extraction profile of the first mandibular molar based on age and gender at Balai Pengobatan Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Manado in 2012. This was a descriptive retrospective study. Samples were obtained by using total sampling method. In 2012, there were 765 patients with extracted teeth. Of the 1130 permanent teeth extracted, the highest number belonged to the first mandibular molar which was 167 teeth out of 164 patients. Extraction of the first mandibular molars among adults (19-55 years old) was 73%; teenagers (13-18 years old) 21%; children (6-12 years old) 4%; and elderies (>56 years) %. Of the 164 patients, there were 99 females and 65 males. Conclusion: Adults were the most frequent age group with extracted first mandibular molar, followed by teenagers, children, and elderly. Female cases were more frequent than male cases.Keywords: tooth extraction, mandibular first molarAbstrak: Gigi molar satu mandibula merupakan gigi tetap yang pertama erupsi pada umur sekitar 6-7 tahun, sehingga menjadi gigi yang paling berisiko terkena karies. Bila gigi tersebut terkena karies, dapat berakibat pencabutan, yang menimbulkan resiko baru seperti perubahan posisi gigi, memengaruhi oklusi, sendi rahang, dan proses mastikasi yang berdampak pada penyerapan nutrisi makanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran pencabutan gigi molar satu mandibula di Balai Pengobatan Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Manado berdasarkan umur dan jenis kelamin tahun 2012. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan jenis penelitian retrospektif. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik total sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada tahun 2012 dari 765 pasien yang melakukan pencabutan gigi, sebanyak 1130 gigi dewasa yang dicabut dan gigi molar satu mandibula yang tersering (167 gigi pada 164 pasien). Kasus pencabutan gigi molar satu mandibula pada kelompok usia dewasa dengan rentang umur 19-55 tahun sebesar 73%; pasien remaja (13-18 tahun) 21%; pasien anak-anak (6-12 tahun) 4%; dan pasien lansia dengan rentang umur mulai dari 56 tahun ke atas 2%. Dari 164 pasien yang dilakukan pencabutan gigi molar satu mandibula, jenis kelamin perempuan sebanyak 99 pasien sedangkan laki-laki 65 pasien. Simpulan: Pasien dewasa merupakan kategori umur yang tersering dilakukan pencabutan gigi molar satu mandibula, diikuti oleh pasien remaja, anak, dan lansia. Kasus pencabutan gigi molar satu mandibula berdasarkan jenis kelamin lebih sering terjadi pada perempuan dibandingkan laki-laki.Kata kunci: pencabutan gigi, molar satu mandibula
