RESUMO
"Background: Improved and satisfactory facial aesthetics following prosthetic obturation of surgically acquired partial maxillary defect had been reported in several case reports involving one patient or two; but this number is grossly inadequate for a reliable deduction. Besides; literature is scarce on the relationship between facial aesthetics and the ""class of surgical defect"". Surgically acquired partial maxillary defect has earlier been classified into classes I to VI. Aims: To assess the perception of patients regarding their facial aesthetics following prosthetic obturation and to relate this finding to their classes of surgical defects. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary dental centre; University College Hospital; Ibadan. Consecutive patients who had maxillary resection resulting in partial maxillary defect seen over a period of two years were admitted to the study."

Une etude retrospective ayant pour but de determiner la frequence et la distribution des osteites a ete entreprise dans le service de stomatologie de l'Hopital de Kati entre janvier 1981 et decembre 1986. L'echantillon a ete choisi de facon accidentelle. Les malades etaient originaires du Mali; du Senegal et de la Guinee. L'etude portait sur 33 patients ages de 1 a 55 ans dont 18 hommes et 15 femmes. Les interventions chirurgicales de sequestrectomie endo ou exo-buccale ont ete pratiquees. Le maxillaire inferieur etait le siege prefere avec 29/33 cas (87;9 pour cent) contre 4/33 cas (12;1 pour cent) pour le maxillaire superieur. A l'hopital de Kati; les auteurs ont note chez les cultivateurs moins de cas d'osteites d'origine dentogene que chez les commercants; eleveurs et menageres. La distribution des osteites des maxillaires a montre que les cultivateurs etaient davantage touches par les osteites post-traumatiques que celles d'origine dentogene. Toutefois; quelle que soit l'origine des osteites; leur frequence ne variait pas de facon statistiquement significative selon le sexe des patients
