Résumé

Les malades voulant des soins orthodontiques sont amenés à maintenir une bonne hygiène orale, bien qu'il y ait encore débat pour savoir si les caractéristiques occlusales sont associées aux soins d'hygiène orale et à la santé périodontale. Les buts de cette étude étaient d'établir un modèle de l'hygiène orale (OHS) du patient orthodontiques au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU), Ibadan, Nigeria et de vérifier les relations possibles entre les soins oraux et les caractéristiques occlusales.
Une étude prospective de 178 patients orthodontiques (44,4 % de garçons et 55,6 % de filles) avec une moyenne d'âge de 16.21 ± 7.81 ans, était faite à l'hôpital entre janvier 2000 et septembre 2002. L'hygiène orale était établie en utilisant l'Oral Hygiene Index de Greene et Vermillion. Les caractéristiques occlusales etaient faites en utilisant la classification d'angle de malocclusion et la méthode de Jackson. Au total, 59,6 %, 38,2 % et 2,2 % avait respectivement des soins d'hygiène orale bonne, moyenne et faible.
Généralement, aucune relation significative était trouvée entre les soins d'hygiène orale et les caractéristiques occlusales (P > 0.005). Nous avons conclu que les malades avaient des soins oraux satisfaisants et que les caractéristiques occlusales n'affectaient pas significativement leur hygiène orale.

Abstract
Oral hygiene status and occlusal characteristics of orthodontic patients at University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria

Patients seeking orthodontic care are expected to maintain good oral hygiene status and there is still a debate as to whether occlusal characteristics are associated with oral hygiene status and invariably periodontal health. The aims of this study were to assess the pattern of oral hygiene status (OHS) of orthodontic patients at University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria and to ascertain possible relationship between their OHS and occlusal characteristics.
A prospective study of 178 consecutive orthodontic patients (44.4% males and 55.6% females) with mean age of 16.21 ± 7.81 years seen in the hospital between January 2000 and September 2002 was done. Oral hygiene status was assessed using Greene and Vermillion simplified oral hygiene index while occlusal characteristics were assessed using Angle's classification of malocclusion and Jackson's method for overjet and overbite relationships. In all, 59.6%, 38.2% and 2.2% had good, fair and poor oral hygiene status respectively. Generally, no significant relationship was found between oral hygiene status and various occlusal features (P > 0.05).
It was concluded that the patients had satisfactory oral hygiene status and the various occlusal features did not affect their oral hygiene status significantly.
