ABSTRACT

Introduction. The premature loss of primary teeth means the early removal of primary teeth that may compromise the proper maintenance of natural dental arch length; it is considered premature when the primary tooth is lost before the following permanent tooth has less than two thirds of its root developed. Objective. The present study was carried out in order to evaluate the prevalence of early loss of primary teeth in 5 to 10 years old children that visit the Children’s clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry in Durango, Dgo. Methods. An observational, descriptive study, that was done in 63 children from 5 to 10 years old that needed a primary tooth extraction. Once the extraction was done, a radiographic analysis illustrated if the extraction was premature according to Nolla’s table, in which the surrogate tooth was found and assessed to determine if the loss of the tooth was premature or not. Results. From a total of 106 extractions needed, 75.5% of those were premature, with 59.6% in Nolla’s 6 and 7 stages. Conclusions. There is a great need of parent’s education to show them the need of early dental attention as well as to make them aware of early childhood caries treatment to prevent premature loss of primary teeth as they are paramount in the children eruption pattern; further deleterious consequen ces follow as the natural dental arch length is compromised.
