Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluation the age of patients who undergo third molar extraction in a dental hospital where both general and specialist dentists conducted extractions, and to assess the relationship between age and gender, reason for extraction, and the method of extraction. Material and Methods: This study involved all simple and surgical extractions of third molars (n=21,912 teeth) conducted by general and specialist dentists at oral and dental health hospital between the years 2015 and 2022. Patients' age, gender, reason for extraction, extracted third molar and method of extraction were analysed. Results: In all age groups, the rates of third molar extraction are higher in the mandible compared to the maxilla. Compared to simple extractions, surgical extractions are more common among those under 40 years of age. The analysis of all age groups revealed that surgical extraction was the predominant method, with a rate of 64.4%. Third molar extraction is more common in women with a rate of 59.3%, but this rate decreases with increasing age. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of age in third molar extraction and the differences in extraction methods and gender distribution between different age groups. This may help dentists to adapt their approach according to the age of the patient.

Amaç: Bu retrospektif çalışmanın amacı, hem genel hem de uzman diş hekimlerinin çekim yaptığı bir diş hastanesinde üçüncü molar diş çekimi yapılan hastaların yaşını, yaş ile cinsiyet, çekim nedeni, çekim yöntemi arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, 2015-2022 yılları arasında ağız ve diş sağlığı hastanesinde genel ve uzman diş hekimleri tarafından gerçekleştirilen tüm basit ve cerrahi üçüncü molar diş çekimlerini (n=21.912 diş) kapsamaktadır. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, çekim nedeni, çekilen üçüncü büyük azı dişi ve çekim yöntemi analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Tüm yaş gruplarında, üçüncü azı dişi çekimi oranları mandibulada maksillaya kıyasla daha yüksektir. Basit çekimlerle karşılaştırıldığında, cerrahi çekimler 40 yaşın altındakiler arasında daha yaygındır. Tüm yaş gruplarının analizi, cerrahi çekimin %64,4'lük bir oranla en baskın yöntem olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Üçüncü molar diş çekimi %59,3 oranıyla kadınlarda daha yaygındır, ancak bu oran yaş arttıkça azalmaktadır. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, üçüncü molar diş çekiminde yaşın önemini ve farklı yaş grupları arasında çekim yöntemleri ve cinsiyet dağılımındaki farklılıkları vurgulamaktadır. Bu durum, diş hekimlerinin yaklaşımlarını hastanın yaşına göre uyarlamalarına yardımcı olabilir.
