Les auteurs rapportent une étude sur six mois à Yaoundé, dans laquelle ils font une comparaison entre les consultations par les hommes et par les femmes, dans des services dentaires.
Ils trouvent que les femmes consultent plus que les hommes. Cette étude montre aussi que si les femmes ont beaucoup plus de caries que les hommes, ces derniers ont des lésions plus profondes à cause de la négligence. Pendant que les hommes veulent se débarrasser de leurs dents malades, les femmes sollicitent les soins conservateurs. Leur hygiène bucco-dentaire est plus rigoureuse, ce qui justifie d'un état parodontal mieux portant que celui des hommes.
Une sensibilisation orientée vers le sexe masculin s'avère nécessaire pour encourager l'entretien et les soins buccodentaires.
The authors report a study on six months at Yaounde and they compare women's and men's consultation in dental services.
They find that women consult much more than men. The study also shows that women have a lot of dental decays than men, but men's caries are more deeper because they neglect treating teeth.
Women desire conserving their teeth while men ask to move out each of their tooth begining to be ill. The women's periodontal status is better than men's one. Men need to be educated for more mouth and teeth care.
