Cette étude est réalisée pour déterminer la prévalence chez le sénégalais mélanoderme en utilisant les critères de diagnostic de SCHIFMAN. Nous avons enregistré une prévalence de 48 % (18,8 % des dents). Cette prévalence est plus élevée chez la femme, mais la différence n'est pas significative, par contre la différence est statistiquement plus élevée au niveau du maxillaire et au niveau de la deuxième molaire.
