Young adults are the population with age ranging from (20-39) years old that they tended to have a good general and periodontal health . Dental extraction is the worst consequence for a diseased tooth so prevention is the best option , So that in order to raise the level of prevention we have to know what is the main reason of dental extraction for this age group . Materials and Methods: This study is a cross sectional study with retrospective data collection. The study conducted at UQUdent using the R4 system aiming to reach the previous extracted teeth and observe the current extraction cases in order to determine the most common reason of dental extraction among young adults patients at UQUdent. Results: We found that 53.21% of the total cases were extracted because it was carious until it reached the level of remaining root stumps . while 37.61% of the cases were non restorable teeth . The orthodontic reasons and impaction had less effect on the reason of dental extraction with a prevalence of 6.42% and 2.75% , respectively Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that the remaining root stumps had occupied the majority of the cases which is the end result of dental decay, while the other reasons had a less effect on the dental extraction.
