Résumé

La fin du siècle dernier et la décennie actuelle sont caractérisées par une évolution du concept de la santé et de la maladie dans le domaine public. L’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé définit les médecines traditionnelles comme "comprenant diverses pratiques, approches, connaissances et croyances intégrant des médicaments à base de plantes, d’animaux et/ou de minéraux, des traitements spirituels, appliqués seuls ou en association afin de maintenir le bien-être et de traiter, de diagnostiquer ou de prévenir la maladie". En odontologie, les plantes utilisées sont nombreuses. L’objectif de cette étude était de décrire la phytothérapie utilisée contre les affections bucco-dentaires.
Pour mener cette étude, 10 articles et thèses, un mémoire, 2 ouvrages, 4 rapports et 2 coupures de presse portant sur la médecine traditionnelle/phytothérapie ont été consultés. Plusieurs plantes africaines, suivant la forme d’utilisation, peuvent permettre de soulager ou de traiter la douleur dentaire et d’avoir des effets positifs contre la carie dentaire et les maladies des parodontales. L’accessibilité géographique et financière associée à l’insuffisance du personnel qualifié font que les plantes pourraient constituer une alternative dans la prise en charge de certaines pathologies bucco-dentaires.

Abstract
Medicinal plants in Senegal and oral diseases: use and interest

The end of the last century and the present decade is characterized by an evolution of the concept of health and illness in the public domain. The World Health Organization defines traditional medicine as "comprising various practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating medicinal herbal, animal and/or mineral, spiritual therapies, applied alone or in combination to maintain well-being and to treat, diagnose or prevent disease". In dentistry, the plants used are numerous. The objective of this work is to describe the herbal medicine used against oral diseases.
To conduct this study, 10 articles and theses, a brief, 2 books, 4 reports and 2 clippings on traditional medicine/herbal medicine were consulted. Several African plants, in the form of use, can help relieve or treat dental pain and have positive effects against dental caries and periodontal diseases. The geographic and financial accessibility associated with the lack of qualified personnel are the plants could be an alternative in the management of certain oral diseases.
