SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH TOOTH EXTRACTION AT CAN THO UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY HOSPITAL IN 2021
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Tooth loss can lead to occlusal disorders and temporomandibular joint issues, resulting in pain and deteriorating chewing ability. Oral health problems affect health-related quality of life, especially anxiety, distress, and shame. However, the number of studies describing these effects in Vietnam was still limited. Objectives: To analyze of the relationship between dental status and socioeconomic factors in patients with tooth extraction. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study of 200 tooth extraction patients aged 18 years and older was conducted at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20's Frequency test, Chi-Square test, and Fisher's Exact test. Results: 256 teeth were extracted, in which the main reason was misaligned teeth (38.28%), decayed teeth (25.39%), and retained roots (12.89%). The extraction rate of females (63.32%) was higher than that of males (36.68%), and that of urban patients (71.43%) was higher than that of rural patients (28.57%). People who brushed their teeth less than twice a day, and did not have dental visits in the past 12 months accounted for the highest proportion (92.5%,58.5%). Low education level was the reason for the prevalence of oral diseases, while higher education level played a preventive role (p=0.046). In the elderly group, the proportion of patients with tooth extraction due to oral disease increased (p=0.002). Conclusions: A patient had less than two teeth extracted on average. Tooth decay and misaligned teeth were the most common causes of extraction. Educational status and place of residence were considered to be significant factors influencing the reasons for tooth extraction.
