This study analysed data on periodontal reasons for tooth extractions, obtained from 52 dentists practising general dentistry in Singapore. The results revealed that, out of 2172 teeth extracted from 1276 patients, 35.8% were lost due to periodontal disease and 35.4% due to caries. Extraction due to periodontal problems increased with age, were more conspicuous in the Indian ethnic group and were frequently associated with pocketing and tooth mobility.
本研究分析了从新加坡52名从事普通牙科的牙医处获得的因牙周病拔牙的数据。结果显示，在从1276名患者中拔除的2172颗牙齿中，35.8%因牙周病而缺失，35.4%因龋齿而缺失。因牙周问题拔牙的情况随年龄增长而增加，在印度族裔中更为明显，且经常与牙周袋和牙齿松动有关。
