Résumé

Dans beaucoup de pays pauvres le nombre d'analphabètes est souvent très important. Pour sensibiliser ces populations aux soins dentaires, les auteurs proposent une série de schémas basés sur des associations d'idées avec leurs modes de vie traditionnels.
En dix séries sont abordés : la morphologie, l'hygiène, les soins, le sourire, l'importance fonctionnelle et esthétique de la bouche et des dents.
Les auteurs pensent en conclusion que ce mode de sensibilisation est efficace car il dépasse dialectes, ethnies et frontières.

Abstract
Project of a handbook for the sensibilisation of illiterate population to dental prevention

In many poor countries, the number of «illetrate people» is often very high. In order to sensibilize these populations to dental caring, the authors propose a serie of frames based on the mental association with their traditional lifestyles.
With only ten series of drawings they deal with : morphology, hygiene, cares, smile, functional and aesthetic importance of mouths and teeth.
To conclude, the authors insist on the fact that this way of sensibilisation is all the more efficient that it is beyond dialects, ethnic groups and boundaries.
