Résumé

Abidjan, la capitale économique de la Côte d’Ivoire, a un CAO de 2,7 avec un indice O pratiquement nul. La densité professionnelle est de un chirurgien dentiste pour 12 000 habitants. La population abidjanaise malgré les besoins en soins croissants n’a pas recours aux chirurgiens dentistes pour leur prise en charge.
L’objectif général de notre étude est de décrire l’itinéraire thérapeutique en odonto-stomatologie de la population abidjanaise.
Nous avons réalisé une enquête par questionnaire auprès d’un échantillon de la population abidjanaise.
Les résultats montrent que 25 % de notre population renoncent aux soins malgré la présence de douleur ou de gêne.
Notre étude a permis de mettre en évidence tous les autres recours aux soins. En effet, les personnes qui renoncent aux soins ont de nombreux autres recours qui ont pu être identifié : ce sont par ordre d’importance l’automédication moderne et traditionnelle. Nous notons dans notre étude, que le choix du chirurgien dentiste connaît une évolution constante du premier au troisième recours. Le manque de moyens financiers constitue cependant le premier obstacle à l’accessibilité aux soins bucco-dentaires en Côte d’Ivoire.
