Résumé

L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer la prévalence de l'hypersensibilité de la dentine cervicale dans un hôpital nigérian et de souligner sa localisation intra-buccale.
Deux-cent vingt patients, âgés de 18 à 60 ans, consultant au service de restauration clinique de l'hôpital, ont été suivis pendant 3 mois pour hypersensibilité de la dentine, récession gingivale et évaluation de leur état bucco-dentaire. La sensibilité était présente dans 16.3 % de la population étudiée, plus particulièrement dans la tranche d'âge 31-40 ans (48.5 %). De plus, l'incidence était plus grande chez les femmes (66.7 %) que chez les hommes (33.3 %). Egalement, cela était plus fréquent chez les sujets ayant une bonne hygiène orale (63.3 %) et chez les droitiers (81.8 %). La sensibilité était plus courante sur la surface de la dent (60.6 %), les canines (39.4 %) et l'arc mandibulaire.
Conclusion : De notre étude, il ressort que l'hypersensibilité de la dentine cervicale était assez courante, elle était plus présente sur la surface de la dent, les canines et l'arc mandibulaire.

Abstract
Pattern and distribution of cervical dentine hypersensitivity in a Nigerian tertiary hospital

The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of Cervical Dentine Hypersensitivity in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital and to highlight its pattern of distribution intraorally. Two hundred and twenty subjects, aged 18 to 60 years, attending the Restorative Clinic of the hospital were assessed for dentine hypersensitivity gingival recession and oral hygiene status over a 3 month period. Whereas the sensitivity occurred in 16,3 % of the study population, it was seen most frequently in the 31 to 40 year age range (48,5 %). Furthermore, the incidence was higher in women (66,7 %) than in men (33,3 %). Also, it occurred most often in subjects with good oral hygiene (63,6 %) and in right handed (81,8 %) subjects. It was commonest on the buccal surfaces of teeth (60,6 %) canines (39,4 %) and mandibular arch (63,6 %).
Conclusion : within the limitations of the current study, cervical dentine hypersensitivity was fairly common and it also occurs mostly on the buccal surfaces of teeth, canines and in the mandibular arch.
