Le but : de ce travail est d'analyser la situation de la santé bucco-dentaire (S.B.D.) de la population d'un district de santé opérationnel en soins de santé primaires (S.S.P.) afin d'y intégrer la composante S.B.D.
En effet, dans de nombreux pays d'Afrique, l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (O.M.S.), en accord avec ces derniers ont institués la politique de S.S.P. Le constat est que, la composante S.B.D. à été laissé pour compte comme par exemple au Cameroun.

La méthode : a consisté en une enquête de prévalence sur questionnaire et examen clinique sur une population d'âge varié ; 900 personnes ont ainsi été examinées dans le district de santé de Sangmélima afin d'analyser la situation de la S.B.D.
Le résultat :
Conclusion : la situation de la S.B.D. dans le district de Sangmélima nécessite une prévention effective, donc une prise en charge dans les S.S.P.
