L'objectif de cette étude est de décrire les habitudes alimentaires et d'hygiène orale de 150 étudiants vivant en résidence universitaire. Nous avons utilisé la méthode d'enquête alimentaire de quatre jours de MILLER. Les résultats sont les suivants : les changements d'habitude alimentaire concernent surtout la multiplication de boissons sucrées et la tendance au grignotage car le menu est resté riche en féculents comme les plats traditionnels. Les habitudes d'hygiène orale ont subi de profondes modifications : la brosse à dents utilisée par 96,7 % des étudiants a supplanté les autres moyens : le rinçage digital à l'eau et le bâtonnet frotte-dents.

We noted an increase of sugar drinks ; tea is the most consumed drink. The results showed also that the toothbrush as mean of oral hygiene supplanted the traditional means such as « cure dents « or water rinse with finger.
