INTRODUCTION: For the continuation of the growth and development of children, they must have a healthy

mouth structure. This is possible by minimizing tooth loss. In the loss of permanent teeth, problems may arise

in terms of function, phonation and aesthetics.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine the types and proportions of extracted teeth in children who

have had permanent tooth extraction.

METHODS: The study was carried out retrospectively on 93,565 patients aged 6-14 years who applied to the

clinic between 01.03.2018 and 01.03.2020. Evaluations were made using descriptive statistics.

RESULTS: A total of 2109 teeth of 1708 (1.82%) patients were extracted. The average age is 11±0 .While

the most extracted tooth is 46 no. 584 (27.69%), it is followed by no. 36 no, 26 no and 16no, respectively. 33

no is the tooth with the least extraction (n= 4; 0,18%). 12% of the teeth were extracted due to molar incisor

hypomineralization, 68% for excessive material loss, 5% for hyperdontia, 10% for endodontic complications

and 5% for orthodontic reasons.

CONCLUSION: Although it was observed that the patients lost their I. molar teeth, which are the first

permanent teeth, it was observed that there could be loss in every tooth type. Since there is no chance of

eruption again after the extraction of permanent teeth, it is important to inform the parents of the patients and

to minimize the losses.
