The group of patients aged 25-34 had more number of extracted teeth than any other age group. 2. It was found that woman's (0.13) was more than man's(0.9) in average number of extracted teeth per patient. 3. In analyzing the causes of extraction, it was identified as caries 37.5%, periodontal diseases 27.2%, wisdom teeth 17.6%, for orthodontic treatment and impacted supernumerary teeth and others 8.0% trauma and fracture 4.2%. 4. The primary cause of extraction was found to be changed from caries to periodontal diseases according to the increase of age. 5.
