Résumé

L'étude rétrospective portant sur les retraitements endodontiques entrepris à l'Institut d'Odonto-Stomatologie de Dakar de 1986 à 1997 montre un faible taux de 1,94 % (obturation canalaire insuffisante) pour 4325 traitements endodontiques.
Les retraitements endodontiques concernent surtout des femmes (54,76 %) dans la tranche d'âge de 20 à 30 ans (45,24 %), les incisives centrales maxillaires (21,43 %) et les premières molaires (21,43 %).
Le motif clinique ayant conduit au retraitement est prothétique (46,43%) et symptomatique (38,10 %) ; le taux de succès immédiat de ces retraitements reste favorable à 59,52 %.

Abstract

The retrospective study on the endodontic retreatments done at the Odonto-Stomatology Institute of Dakar from 1986 to 1997 shows a small rate of 1,94% (unreached canalar root filling) for 4325 endodontic treatments.
The endodontic retreatments concern almost women (54,76 %), ageing between 20 to 30 years (45,24 %) ; maxillary central incisors (21,43 %) and first molars (21,43 %).
The clinical reason having conducted to a retreatment is prosthetic (46,4 %) and symptomatic (38,10 %) ; the immediate success rate of these retreatment stays favourable at 59,52 %.
