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.

Cervical lesions are often characterized by defects seen in the gingival third of a tooth crown which may be in the facial or lingual surface. Pathological loss of tooth structure caused by factors other than dental caries such as cervical abrasion is referred to as non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). Cervical abrasion is an example of NCCL in which a constant exposure of the tooth to mechanical forces leads to pathological wearing away of the hard tissues. In most of the cases, cervical tooth lesions are revealed to be more common as the age increases. Several studies have reported the difference in the prevalence of cervical abrasion between males and females. Many reports suggest that cervical abrasion is commonly associated with improper tooth brushing habits. To evaluate the prevalence of cervical abrasion between genders and its influence on age. It is a retrospective study conducted using the case records of Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, Chennai, India from June 2019 to March 2020. Data including the patient’s name, patient’s identification number (PID), age, gender and presence of cervical abrasion were retrieved from the patients’ case records. A total of 742 consecutive case records were retrieved and analysed. Cervical abrasion was observed in 371 individuals of this study. High prevalence of cervical abrasions was seen in males (70.9%) compared to females (29.1%). Most of the cases were observed in individuals within the 41-50 years age group (28.8%), and the least was seen within the 11-20 years age group (0.3%). Within the limits of the study, most of the cervical abrasion cases are recorded in individuals within the 41-50 years age group with higher predilection in males. There is a statistically significant association of cervical abrasion with age and gender.

Caries or cavities is a breakdown of teeth due to acids made by bacteria. Individual tooth surfaces have different susceptibilities to caries which vary over time. Progress of caries towards the pulp leads to damage to the pulp. Caries 2 caries involve proximal surfaces of posterior teeth. The aim of the present study was to identify the association of age and gender distribution in patients having class II caries resulting in root canal treatment in lower premolars and molars. The data was collected from the DIAS - dental information archiving software. All case sheets were reviewed and findings are recorded. The data were tabulated using excel and analysed with the help of SPSS software. In this study, class II caries were common in the age group 60 to 70 years (73.9%). Males (63.8%) were more affected than females (36%). Lower molars (51%) showed a slightly higher incidence of class II caries when compared to premolars (49.4%). Within the limitations of the study, male patients showed a higher incidence of class II caries resulting in root canal treatment compared with female patients. 60 to 70 years was the commonly affected age group.

Dr Greene Vardiman Black in the year 1896 classified dental caries into VI classes based on the site of occurrence, among which class III and class IV are exclusively associated with anterior teeth. There are very minimal studies in the literature emphasising on the prevalence of dental caries in the anterior teeth region. Caries involving the anterior teeth significantly affects aesthetics and which in turn affects the confidence levels of the affected person. Grossly decayed anterior teeth also affect phonetics and mastication. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and gender variations of class III dental caries among patients who have visited Saveetha Dental College and have undergone treatment for the same. A Retrospective study was conducted, and data collection was done from dental archives pertaining from June 2019 to April 2020. Data consisted of all the patients who underwent therapeutic procedures for class all dental caries. Data was imported to IBM SPSS Version 20 for statistical analysis. Results were tabulated. Prevalence of class III dental caries was more among females as compared to males. Maxillary anterior are more affected than mandibular anterior. Prevalence was more among patients belonging to the third and fourth decade of life. There was a statistically significant association between age, and proximal surface –majority of mesial caries decreases with age and distal caries increases with age. As the age increases, the number of decayed surfaces increases (not statistically significant). This study was conducted in a single centre. Extensive multi-centre studies need to be done.

Introduction: Attaining improved aesthetics and proper occlusion are main reasons for commencing orthodontic treatment in any patient. However it is anticipated that orthodontic treatment increases the risk of carious lesions. Objective: To analyze prevalence of dental caries in relation to gender, age group, duration of orthodontic treatment and malocclusion type; and to assess oral hygiene and food habit practice in Nepalese orthodontic patients. Materials & Method: A cross sectional study was done in 212 orthodontic patients (age range 11-30 years) having fixed appliance for at least six months duration. A survey form based on ‘Dentition Status & Treatment Need, WHO’ was used to depict DMFT Index and prevalence of dental caries. A questionnaire was used to assess the practice of oral hygiene measures and food habits of the orthodontic patients. The association between dental caries and gender, age group, duration of orthodontic treatment and malocclusion type were analyzed using chi-square test (p<0.05). Result: The prevalence of dental caries (DMFT) was 79.2% and mean DMFT value was 2.87 among Nepalese orthodontic patients. Occurrence of dental caries among male and female patients was 69.44% and 60% respectively. Caries occurrence was highest in age group 16-20 years (72.22%), in more than 18 months treatment duration group (63.92%) and in Class I malocclusion group (68.38%). Similarly, 30.2% consume sweets foodstuff, 26.9% consume junk food and 14.2% consume snacks in between meals frequently. Conclusion: Fairly good proportion of Nepalese orthodontic patients practice normal oral hygiene methods but very few use special oral hygiene measures. The study showed no association between dental caries occurrence and gender groups, age groups, duration of orthodontic treatment and malocclusion types.
