Résumé

Nous avons effectué une enquête épidémiologique dont le but était d’évaluer d’une part l’état de santé bucco-dentaire des parents et celui de leurs enfants et d’autre part d’étudier la relation entre la santé orale des parents et celle de leurs enfants. Cette étude a concerné 200 parents (mères et pères) et 200 de leurs enfants. Elle a eu lieu à Dakar au service d’Odontologie Pédiatrique du Centre Hospitalier National d’Enfants Albert Royer et du Département d’Odontologie. Dans ces deux groupes, nous avons évalué la prévalence de la carie. L’état gingival a été étudié de même que les habitudes d’hygiène bucco-dentaires. Nous avons enfin étudié la relation entre l’état de santé bucco-dentaire des parents et celui des enfants.
Les résultats montrent une prévalence de la carie chez les parents de 63 % avec un CAO moyen de 5,8 ± 5,02 et chez les enfants la prévalence est de 94 % avec un CAO moyen mixte de 5,85 ± 4,00. Le CAO des parents était significativement lié à leur statut professionnel de même que leur état gingival et les habitudes d’hygiène (ANOVA : p = 0,00). Le CAO des enfants était significativement lié à celui des parents et leur statut professionnel (ANOVA : p = 0,00). De plus, les habitudes d’hygiène des enfants étaient aussi liées à celles des parents.

Abstract
Relationship between oral health status of parents and their children

The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral health status of the parents and their children and the relationships between the parents’ oral health status and their children one.
Subjects comprised 200 parents (mothers and fathers) and 200 of their children selected at the pediatric dental clinic of the children’s hospital Albert Royer and the pediatric dental clinic of the Department of Odontology. In both groups, we have evaluated the dental caries prevalence and dental examination was performed using DMFT or dmf teeth for children. To evaluate the oral hygie-ne habits we used the Silness and Löe index and a questionnaire. We have finally assessed the relationships between the parents’ oral health status and their children’ oral health. The dental caries prevalence was 63% for the parents with mean DMF teeth of 5.8 and 5.2 SD and for the children it was 94% and the dmf teeth was 5.85 and 4.00 SD. The parents’ DMF teeth, their gingival health and their oral hygiene habits were significantly associated to their professional status (ANOVA: p =0.00 < 0.05). The dmf teeth of the children was associated with those of their parents and to their parents’ professional status. The children’s oral hygiene habits and their parents’ habits were also associated.
