Résumé

Contexte : Le contrôle de plaque individuel constitue la clé de la réussite des traitements parodontaux. Son efficacité dépend de la qualité de la motivation et de l’éducation thérapeutique du patient par le praticien.
Objectif : L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques des omnipraticiens du District d’Abidjan en matière d’éducation des patients au contrôle de plaque.
Méthodes : Une enquête transversale à visée descriptive, par questionnaire auto-administré, a été menée auprès de 110 chirurgiens-dentistes à Abidjan, en Côte d’Ivoire.
Résultats : Tous les praticiens reconnaissaient l’importance de l’éducation des patients au contrôle de plaque ; toutefois, seulement 55,2% motivaient systématiquement tous les patients. Pour 72% d’entre eux, les objectifs essentiels de cette étape thérapeutique seraient d’expliquer et enseigner les techniques d'hygiène bucco-dentaire. La plupart (84,55%) donnaient régulièrement des conseils d'hygiène bucco-dentaire aux patients, mais les conseils diététiques (37,27 %) et de sevrage tabagique (28,1 %) étaient moins fréquents. Le temps consacré à la motivation était de 5 à 10 min pour 67,6% des praticiens. La motivation était faite oralement (42%), ou en montrant les signes en bouche (75,2%) ; cependant 71,4% des praticiens ne calculaient et ne réévaluaient jamais d’indice d’hygiène. Des solutions ont été proposées par les praticiens pour lever les obstacles rencontrés dans la mise en œuvre de l’Education Thérapeutique du Patients (ETP) et améliorer les pratiques, notamment la rémunération de ces actes (74,54%), la disponibilité de guides méthodologiques (60,90%), et la formation continue des chirurgiens-dentistes (48,18%).
Conclusion : Malgré des connaissances plus ou moins correctes, les attitudes et pratiques de motivation et d’éducation des omnipraticiens d’Abidjan restent moyennes. Les méthodes de motivation/instruction utilisées n’étaient pas toujours conformes aux exigences méthodologiques requises pour optimiser les résultats de cette phase thérapeutique. La diffusion de lignes directrices et de guides méthodologiques, la mobilisation de ressources, et le renforcement des formations initiale et continue pourraient motiver les praticiens à s’impliquer davantage dans l’éducation thérapeutique des patients.

Abstract
Motivation and education of the patient to plaque control in periodontics: survey on dentist’s knowledge, attitudes and practices in the district of Abidjan

Background: Individual plaque control is the key to successful periodontal treatment. Its effectiveness depends on the quality of motivation and therapeutic education of the patient by the practitioner.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of general practitioners in the District of Abidjan in terms of patient education on plaque control.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among 110 dentists practicing in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
Results: All practitioners recognized the importance of patient motivation and education in plaque control; however, only 55.2% systematically motivated all patients. For 72% of them, the main objectives of this therapeutic step would be to explain and teach oral hygiene techniques. Most (84.55%) gave regular oral hygiene advice to patients, but dietary advice (37.27%) and smoking cessation advice (28.1%) were less frequent. The time devoted to motivation was 5 to 10 min for 67.6% of practitioners. Motivation was done orally (42%), or by showing signs in the mouth (75.2%); however, 71.4% of practitioners never calculated and re-evaluated a hygiene index. Solutions have been proposed by practitioners to remove obstacles encountered in the implementation of TEP (Therapeutic Education of the Patient) and to improve practices, including remuneration for these procedures (74.54%), availability of methodological guides (60.90%), and continuing education for dental surgeons (48.18%).
Conclusion: Despite more or less correct knowledge, the attitudes and practices of motivation and education of general practitioners in Abidjan remain average. The motivation/education methods used did not always comply with the methodological requirements for optimal implementation of this therapeutic phase. The dissemination of guidelines and methodological guides, the mobilization of resources, and the strengthening of initial and continuing training could motivate practitioners to become more involved in the therapeutic education of patients.
