A retrospective study on the reasons for second molar extraction
The main reasons for extracting second molars were endodontic factors, followed by periodontal factors, and impacted third molars. Advanced age was significantly associated with increased extraction risks attributable to both endodontic and periodontal disease. Impacted third molar-related factors accounted for a larger proportion in cases of mandibular second molar extractions.
