Purpose.
To evaluate the prevalence and reasons for teeth extractions in a sample from a dental clinic in Brazil.
Methods.
The prevalence of teeth mortality was analyzed by gender, age, tooth type and reasons for extraction on 800 teeth of 439 subjects, whose data was collected in clinical records in a convenience sample.
Results.
The groups with range from 35 to 44 years, 45 to 54 years and 55 to 64 years revealed significantly greater number of teeth extractions than other age groups (P<0.0001).
The anterior teeth loss increased significantly with aging, while the tooth mortality of premolar and molar were higher in younger people.
The caries was the more prevalent reason for tooth mortality among young and adults up to 44 years old, while the periodontal disease was the main reason for extractions from 45 years old until range of 81 years (P<0.0001).
Conclusions.
It can be suggested that some reasons for tooth loss were age-dependent, but the caries and the periodontal diseases were the main reasons for tooth mortality in this Brazilian sample.
