Résumé

Les lésions dentaires non carieuses sont des destructions des surfaces externes des dents d’origine non bactérienne contrairement aux caries dentaires. On en distingue cinq types : l’attrition, l’abrasion, l’abfraction, l’érosion et la démasticatication. Elles peuvent être pathologiques ou physiologiques. Les données les concernant sont peu nombreuses dans la littérature. Leur étude présente un intérêt réel en odontologie conservatrice à cause des problèmes à la fois esthétique et fonctionnel qu’elles posent. L’enquête épidémiologique que nous avons menée a pour but de fournir des données sur la prévalence de ces lésions dans le département de Dakar. Nos résultats ont révélé les taux de prévalence suivant : 60 % attrition, 25,55 % abrasion, 7,22 % abfraction, 5,55 % démasticatication et 1,68 %. La prise en charge préventive des lésions pathologiques (abrasion, abfraction et érosion) qui représentent 34,45 % des cas mérite d’être inscrit dans le programme de la lutte contre les maladies buccodentaires.

Abstract
Prevalence of non carious dental lesions in the Department of Dakar

Non carious dental lesions are destructions of dental external surfaces originating from non bacterial cause in opposition to dental caries. We distinguish 5 types of non carious dental lesions : attrition, abrasion, abfraction, erosion and demastication. These lesions may be pathological or physiological. Data dealing with them are not very numerous in the literature. Their study shows a real interest in conservative dentistry because of problems both aesthetic and functional they set We carried out an epidemiological trial in the department of Dakar with as aim providing data on the prevalence of these lesions.
Our results have disclosed the following rates of prevalence : 60 % of attrition, 25,55 % of abrasion, 7,22 % of abfraction, 5,55 % of demastication and 1,68 % of erosion. The results indicate once more the importance of the need for clinical evaluation of those dental lesions.
