Résumé

Introduction : La maladie carieuse représente un problème de santé publique au Maroc et la lutte contre cette pathologie est une priorité du Ministère de la santé. L’utilisation des dentifrices fluorés est reconnue actuellement comme étant un moyen efficace pour la prévention de la carie dentaire.
Matériel et méthode : L’objectif de notre travail était de vérifier la conformité des informations marquées sur les emballages avec les normes internationales, mais également de déterminer par potentiométrie la quantité de fluor présente dans les pâtes dentifrices commercialisées au Maroc provenant de trois origines : pharmacies, grandes surfaces et marchands ambulants.
Résultats : L’étude a concerné 56 pâtes dentifrices, 73,2% de pâtes dentifrices répondaient aux normes de l’OMS concernant les dates de fabrication et de péremption. Le type de fluorure n’était précisé que sur 67,8% des emballages et la concentration utilisée n’était indiquée que dans 62,5% des échantillons testés. Sur les 56 variétés de pâtes dentifrices étudiées, les résultats ont révélé que si l’on tient compte des normes préconisées par l’OMS et l’Union Européenne, seuls 57,1% des dentifrices pouvaient avoir un effet cario-protecteur.
Conclusion : Les résultats de cette étude montrent qu’il existe un réel besoin de contrôle de qualité des pâtes dentifrices fluorées vendues au Maroc surtout ceux du marché ambulant.

Abstract
Determination of fluoride in toothpastes marketed in Morocco using a fluoride-selective electrode

Introduction: Dental caries represents a problem of public health in Morocco and the reduction of this pathology is a priority of the Ministry of Health. The use of fluoride toothpastes is, at present, recognized as being an effective means for the prevention of dental caries.
Materiel and methods: The aim of our study was to verify the correspondence of the information marked on packagings with the international standards, but also to determine using potentiometry the quantity of fluorine presents in toothpastes marketed in Morocco from three origins: pharmacies, hypermarkets and ambulant sellers.
Results: The study concerned 56 toothpastes, 73.2% of toothpastes respect the standards of the concerning WHO dates of manufacturing and lapsing. The type of fluoride was specified only on 67.8% of packagings and the used concentration of fluoride was indicated only in 62.5% of the tested samples. For 56 studied toothpastes, the results revealed that if we take into account standards recommended by the WHO and the European Union, only 57.1 % of toothpastes could have an effect dental caries.
Conclusion: The results of this study show that there is a real need of quality control of fluoride toothpastes sold in Morocco especially those of the itinerant market.
