Abstract |
Objective: Compare extraction/ non extraction among Nepalese male and female orthodontic patients Materials and methods: 750 patients who have done orthodontic treatment between June15, 2007 to June 15, 2010 in The Orthodontic Center were considered. Out of that 500 (250 male and 250 female) were randomly selected. Pearson Chi-Square test was performed to see the correlation between extraction and gender Results: Non Extraction (54.2 %) dominates extraction (45.8 %) by 8.4 %. The extraction rate for Nepalese is higher (45.8%) when compared to Caucasians (28%). Statistical test of p value at the level 0.05 shows that there is no clinically significant different between extraction/non extraction with sex. |
