Les traumatismes dento-alvéolaires, conséquences des accidents survenant au niveau de la sphère bucco-dentaire sans distinction de sexes ni d’âges, ont des étiologies multiples. Le but de ce travail prospectif était d’étudier les traumatismes dento-alvéolaires selon leurs répartitions en fonction de l’âge, le sexe, les étiologies, ainsi que les dents les plus touchées. Ils ont représenté 56,88 % des traumatismes maxillo-faciaux. Le sexe masculin (72,48 %) était plus impliqué que le sexe féminin (27,52 %). Ces traumatismes étaient plus fréquents entre 16 et 28 ans (56,45 %). La pratique des sports était la principale étiologie, avec 45,16 % des cas. Les types traumatiques les plus fréquemment rencontrés étaient les luxations dentaires (61,29 %) et les fractures du collet (46,77 %). Les dents les plus touchées étaient les incisives supérieures. Les traumatismes dento-alvéolaires sont très fréquents et leur gravité dépend non seulement de l’agent traumatisant, mais aussi de la morphologie dento-alvéolaire. Ces résultats sont similaires à ceux des autres recherches menées ailleurs dans ce domaine.
Dento-alveolar traumatisms result from accidents concerning the oral region, and involve all sex and age groups. They have many causes. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the epidemiological profile of dento-alveolar traumatisms, considering their repartition according to age, sex, aetiologies and the more involved teeth. They represented 56.88% of maxillo-facial traumatisms seen all along the period of study. Male were more affected (72.48%) than female (27.52%). The traumatisms were more frequent between 16 and 28 years old (56.45%). With 45.16% of cases, sports were the main aetiology of these traumatisms. Teeth luxations (61.29%) and crown fracture (46.77%) were the more frequent types of traumatisms. The upper incisors were more affected. Dento-alveolar traumas are frequent and their severity depends of the traumatic agent and dentoalveolar morphology. The results of this study are comparable with those of the researches in this area all over world.
