Objectif : Etudier les raisons de l'exodontie chez les enfants consultant un cabinet dentaire à Uselu, Edo State.
Matériel et méthodes : Tous les enfants ayant eu une extraction de dents entre janvier et décembre 2008 dans un cabinet de médecine dentaire à Uselu ont été recrutés pour cette enquête prospective. Les données recueillies comprenaient l'âge, le sexe, la raison d'extraction et la dent extraite.
Résultats : Un total de 756 extractions a été réalisé au cours de la période d'enquête. Les filles constituaient 57,4% des patients traités. Les caries étaient le plus souvent la raison d'extraction (82%). Les dents de lait étaient plus extraites (66,1%) que les dents permanentes (33,9%). Les molaires de lait représentent 42,6% de tous les exodonties chez les enfants. Les dents mandibulaires étaient plus souvent extraites (60%) que les dents maxillaires (40%). L'exodontie était également plus rencontrée sur le côté droit de la bouche et le quadrant inférieur droit.
Conclusion : Cette enquête met en lumière le besoin de programmes de prévention ciblant les enfants en milieu rural à risque élevé de carie.
