L'objectif de cette étude est de décrire les habitudes d'hygiène orale et la situation de la carie dentaire de 150 étudiants vivant en résidence universitaire. Les résultats sont les suivants : la brosse à dents a supplanté les moyens traditionnels tels que le rinçage digital à l'eau ou le bâtonnet frotte-dents ; 96,7 % des étudiants l'utilisent. Le taux de prévalence de la carie est élevé (60 %) mais l'indice CAO reste faible (2,04 %). Si nous considérons les étudiants qui se brossent (96 %) nous notons une amélioration de la situation de la carie dentaire avec une diminution du taux d'accumulation de la plaque, une diminution du taux de prévalence de la carie et un indice CAO resté faible jusqu'à l'âge adulte.
The objective of this study is to describe the oral hygiene habits and the status of the teeth decay of 150 senegalese students living in a university campus. The results showed that the toothbrush as mean of oral hygiene supplanted the traditional means such as « cure dents « or water rinse with finger. Results showed also a high rate decay (60 %) but the CAO indice remained low (2,04 %). We founded an improvement of dental decay status with an increasing daily number of tooth brushing : we noted a decreasing dental plaque deposition rate, a decreasing decay rate and a CAO indice remaining low until adult age.
