Cette étude est réalisée pour déterminer la prévalence du taurodontisme et de la dent pyramidale chez le sénégalais mélanoderme en utilisant les critères de diagnostic de SCHIFMAN pour le taurodontisme et les critères de diagnostic de Brabant pour la dent pyramidale. Nous avons enregistré une prévalence de 48,6 % (20 % des dents).
Les résultats ont montré que la prévalence respective des deux anomalies était de 48 % (18,8 % des dents) pour le taurodontisme et 4,6 % (1,6 % des dents) pour la dent pyramidale ; le taurodontisme existait seul dans 91,6 % des cas alors que la dent pyramidale n'existait seule que dans 8,6 % des cas.
