Oral examination of (847) individuals, were performed, 352 from the first village and 495 from the second village, between 5-85 years of age, were extracted during 10 days of working activity, males were (43.2%) while females were (56.5%).From 310 patients had tooth extracted, about (87.74%) of the teeth were extracted for dental caries and (12.26%) for periodontal disease. Significant difference was found between the first and second villages which were (30.65%) of caries of the 1 st village.(57.09%) of caries of the 2 nd village, not significant difference was found for periodontal disease which were (5.8%) of 1 st village (6.45 %) of 2 nd village. Caries was the most important reason for tooth extraction in both villages than periodontal disease. More teeth lost due to caries among females than males and significant difference was found between multiple and single tooth extraction. Dental practitioners should promote target initiatives for prevention and treatment of diseases in order to reduce in particular the incidence of tooth extraction because of caries and periodontal disease. | ||
