Abstract
Dental extraction is the process of painlessly removing a whole tooth, or root, without majorly causing trauma to the adjacent tissues and tooth structure, so that the wound heals without causing any problem during postoperative prosthetic replacement. Primary teeth extraction is mainly due to long time unattended caries in most cases. As there is a decrease in the overall caries occurrence across the world, incidence of caries in developing countries are still lots in number. This is a single centered retrospective study done within a private dental hospital. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional review board before the commencement of the study. The data was collected from the hospital management system. Cases sheets of children within the age of 3-5 years were selected. The data were then transferred to the latest version of SPSS software for statistical analysis. Frequency distribution and chi-square tests were done. The p value was set 0.05 as the level of significance. Within the limitation of the study it is concluded that the maxillary primary canine of 4 year olds is extracted more than that of 5 year olds. It is also evident that females children who have extracted their maxillary primary canine are more compared to male children. It is also proven that dental caries is the sole reason for extraction of maxillary primary canine.
