Résumé

Introduction : Une étude épidémiologique descriptive de l’état bucco-dentaire des adolescents, a été menée dans le but de déterminer la prévalence, et les facteurs de risque de la maladie carieuse en milieu scolaire.
Matériels et méthodes : L’enquête a concerné un échantillon de 1003 adolescents âgés de 12 à 18 ans scolarisés au sein de collèges publiques et privés de la région CASA-ANFA. Le niveau socio-économique, le niveau d’instruction de parents, la consommation de sucreries, les habitudes d’hygiène bucco-dentaire, la prévalence de la carie, l’indice CAOD (Nombre de dents permanentes cariées, absentes et obturées), et le MIH (Hypominéralisation molaire incisive) ont été étudiés.
Résultats : La prévalence de la carie était élevée (74,9%), l’indice CAOD présentait une moyenne de 3,15 (écart type : 2,699), et le taux du MIH était de 16,0%. Les résultats obtenus ont confirmé une association statistiquement significative entre la carie dentaire et la fréquence de consommation de sucreries par les adolescents (p = 0,000043), entre le MIH et la carie dentaire (p = 0,034821), et aussi entre les habitudes de brossage dentaire et le niveau d’instruction des parents (p = 0,000378). Ces informations montrent la nécessité de développer un programme régional de promotion de la santé bucco-dentaire chez les adolescents en milieu scolaire.

Abstract
Prevalence and risk factors for dental caries in adolescents: study carried out in the colleges of the prefecture of CASA-ANFA area

Introduction: A descriptive epidemiological study of the oral state of the teenagers, was led with the aim of determining prevalence, and risk factors of decaying disease in school environment.
Materials and methods: The survey involved a sample of 1003 adolescents aged 12 to 18 attending public and private colleges in the CASA-ANFA area. The socio-economic level, the level of education of parents, the consumption of sweets, the habits of oral hygiene, the prevalence of caries, the DMFT index (number of permanent teeth decayed, missing or filled), and MIH (Molar incisor hypomineralisation) were studied.
Results: The prevalence of caries was high (74.9%), the DMFT index had an average of 3.15 (standard deviation: 2.699), and the MIH rate was 16.0%. The results obtained confirmed a statistically significant association between tooth decay and the frequency of sweets consumption by adolescents (P = 0.000043), between MIH and tooth decay (p = 0.034821), and also between the dental brushing habits and the level of education of parents (P = 0.000378). This information shows the necessity of developing an oral health-promoting regional program for teenagers in school environment.
