Résumé

Introduction : Afin d’améliorer la prévention et le traitement de la carie au Burkina Faso, nous avons mené une étude prospective sur les aspects épidémiologiques et thérapeutiques de la carie dentaire aux services de chirurgie dentaire du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo et du Centre Municipal de Santé Bucco-Dentaire à Ouagadougou.
Matériels et méthode : Une étude prospective et description a été menée du 15 octobre 2012 au 15 janvier 2013. La population d’étude était de 191 patients. Les variables notées étaient : l’identité du patient, l’âge, le sexe, la zone de résidence, le mode alimentaire, le niveau socio-économique, le motif de consultation, l’hygiène orale, l’indice CAOD, le degré d’atteinte tissulaire, la topographie des lésions carieuses ainsi que la thérapeutique appliquée.
Résultats : La prévalence de la carie était de 93,19% avec plus de consultations féminines, un sex-ratio de 0,77. L’âge moyen était de 31 ans, pour un échantillon exerçant souvent dans le commerce et le secteur informel. Les lésions carieuses se limitaient le plus souvent à moins de 4 dents. La principale motivation à la consultation était la douleur à 82,20%.
Conclusion : Le recours aux soins préventifs est assez faible dans notre population. Les extractions occupent encore une part importante des traitements d’où la nécessité d’une sensibilisation sur l’hygiène buccale et de rendre systématique des visites de routine chez le dentiste.

Abstract
Tooth decay: epidemiological and therapeutic aspects in dental service of University Teaching Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo and Municipal Centre of Oral Health

Introduction: In order to improve the prevention and treatment of dental caries in Burkina Faso, we conducted a study on the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of dental caries in the dental services of University Teaching Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo and in the Municipal Centre of Oral Health of Ouagadougou.
Material and methods: A prospective and descriptive study from October, 15th 2012 to January, 15th 2013 was conducted on a sample of 191 patients. The variables recorded were: patient's identity, age, sex, area of residence, food mode, socioeconomic level, reason for consultation, oral hygiene, DMFT index, degree of tissue damage, the topography of the carious lesions and the applied therapy.
Results: Caries prevalence was 93.19% more female consultations, with sex ratio at 0.77. The average age was 31 years for a sample often engaged in trade and the informal sector. Carious lesions were usually limited to less than 4 teeth. The main motivation for the consultation was pain at 82.20%.
Conclusion: The use of preventive care is quite low in our population. Extractions still occupy an important part of treatment. We need to improve oral hygiene and show to patients the necessity of routine visits to the dentist every year for early treatment.
