Transalveolar extraction is a method employed when normal forceps extraction is notpossible due to various difficulties which included tooth fracture during normal extractions.Though this technique is employed in clinical practice, it can lead to several complications aftersurgery. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of transalveolarextractions of upper first molar. A retrospective study was conducted. Data collection was donethrough reviewing records of 500 patients visiting a exodontia unit inoral surgery gdc Srinagar from June(2019) toMarch(2020). A total of 500 patients who had undergone extraction of upper first molar were evaluated. Data such as age, gender, type of extraction and tooth number were evaluated. Bothfrequency and Chi-square tests were done through IBM SPSS statistical analysis. Prevalence oftransalveolar extractions in the upper first molar was 1.5% in the study population. Among theindividuals who had undergone transalveolar extraction, 59.09% were males and 40.91% werefemales. About 59.09% of the transalveolar extractions occurred in the age group of 20-40. Within the limits of this study, the incidence of transalveolar extraction was 1.5% of the upper first molar and more prevalent among the 20-40 age group.
