Background and Aim: Full extraction is often accompanied by adverse functional and esthetic effects. Postponing tooth loss is the ultimate goal of dental care. Thus, knowledge about the reasons of tooth loss and the mean age of patients can help in de-signing preventive programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causes of full mouth extraction of teeth and the mean age of patients. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional descriptive analytical study evaluated 102 patients referred to the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery in 2018-2019 for full mouth extraction of teeth. Information including age, gender, income, history of smok-ing, history of drug use, and systemic diseases was recorded in a checklist by the ex-aminer. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and ANOVA. Results: The mean age of patients was 46.42 ± 10.58 years. The most important caus-es of full mouth extraction were caries (43.2%), caries and periodontal disease (37.3%), periodontal disease (16.7%), and prosthetic considerations (3.9%). Of all, 48% of patients had a history of substance abuse, and more than 97% had a medium income level. Conclusion: The most important reasons for full mouth extraction were dental caries, periodontal disease, and prosthetic considerations. The mean age of patients presenting for full mouth extraction of their teeth was relatively low.
