EVALUATION OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF TOOTH EXTRACTION IN OLD PATIENTS
It is known that the increasing proportion of old people is one of the most important problems of the beginning of the 21st century. Complete loss of teeth occurs in elderly patients more often. We studied the causes of teeth removal in people of different gender and different age groups. It was established that caries complications were the main cause of teeth removal in patients of all age groups. Studying the causes in different sex groups revealed that dental caries complications were the main cause of teeth loss in men, while in women loss of teeth was more often due to periodontal diseases.
