ABSTRACT
Contexte : L'étiologie des maladies parodontales est multifactorielle. Le mode de vie, les facteurs socio-économiques, la réponse de l'hôte ainsi que l'environnement sont autant des déterminants qui influencent le développement et la progression de cette pathologie. L'identification de ces facteurs étiologiques dans un milieu hospitalier est un acquit important dans la prise en charge parodontale.Objectif : Déterminer des habitudes de vie et des paramètres cliniques ayant une influence sur le développement et la sévérité de la maladie parodontale en milieux hospitaliers de Kinshasa. Matériel et méthodes : C'était une étude analytique transversale menée auprès des patients âgés de douze ans et plus ayant consulté les services dentaires des institutions hospitalo-confessionnelles de la ville de Kinshasa au cours de la période allant de janvier à août 2015. La consommation du tabac, du sucre, de boissons sucrées et alcoolisées, les antécédents médicaux, le diabète, l'âge, le genre, l'obésité et la pression artérielle sont des variables qui ont été analysées pour identifier les déterminants des maladies parodontaux. Le Dutch Periodontal Screening Index (DPSI) a été utilisé pour évaluer le statut parodontal des patients. Les tests t de Student et de khi carré ont été appliqués pour comparer respectivement les moyennes et les pourcentages. L'analyse de régression logistique a été utilisée pour identifier les déterminants indépendants associés à la parodontite. Les Odds ratio et leurs intervalles de confiance à 95% ont été calculés pour déterminer la force d'association entre les variables dépendante et indépendantes (p < 0,05).Résultats : Sur les 642 patients examinés, 374 étaient du genre féminin. La moyenne d'âge des patients examinés était de 38,1 ± 16,3 ans avec des extrêmes allant de 12 à 92 ans. Quatre-vingt-huit virgule cinq pour cent (88,5%) des patients examinés avaient au moins un niveau secondaire. 16,7% de la population de l'étude présentaient au moins une parodontite modérée de DPSI 3+. A l'issue de l'analyse multivariée, le risque associé à la susceptibilité et la sévérité de maladie parodontale était multiplié par 5,4 (IC95%, p = 0,0001) pour les sujets âgés > 50 ans, par 3,7 (IC95%, p = 0,046) pour les sujets du genre masculin, par 2 (IC95%, p = 0,006) pour ceux qui consommaient journalièrement de boissons sucrées, par 4,26 (IC95%, p = 0,001) chez les sujets diabétiques et par 3,39 (IC95%, p = 0,025) chez les hypertendus. Ces variables indépendantes étaient liées à la variable dépendante par l'équation y = 4,2x + 1,08.Conclusion : La progression de la maladie parodontale vers la forme sévère était modulée par des nombreux facteurs notamment le vieillissement, le genre, le diabète, la consommation de boissons sucrées et l'hypertension artérielle

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate dental decay incidence and DMF index, plaque index and gingival index, and to assess the satisfaction/dissatisfaction in acrylic removal partial denture wearers (ARPD) and in partial edentate no wearers. It aims to improve the therapeutic management in prosthetic oral rehabilitation in DR Congo. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective cohort interventional randomized study on 376 patients enrolled and divided into two groups (with and without denture prosthesis) was performed in University Clinics of Kinshasa, Kinshasa Medical Center and Clinic Glory during the period August 2008 to August 2010. RESULTS: Three hundred seventy-six patients (376) with 163 men (47 ± 16 years) and 213 women (42 ± 15 years) were followed. Of the 376 patients randomized, 189 were of "prosthesis" group and 187 were in the group "without aid". Both groups were regularly reviewed every 6 months for 2 years. Ten thousand four hundred and fifty-two (10452) teeth were examined (5149 teeth to the group "prosthesis" and 5303 for the teeth "without prosthesis" group. On hundred and twenty-nine (129) teeth that presented caries, 110 (82.96 per cent) are decayed teeth in the "prosthesis" group and 19 (17.04 per cent) are in the group "without prosthesis" (p = 0.00). The index Tooth Decayed, Missing, Filled (CAD) to start of the study for each group was 0.2. Two years after the index rose to 0.3 for the group "prosthesis" and remained steady (0.2) for the group "without prosthesis". The "prosthesis" group showed plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) above 0.99 (SD: ± 0.28) and 1.27 (SD: ± 0.43) than normal compared to those of the "no aid" group (0.46 ± 0.15 and 0.32 ± 0.12). The differences were statistically significant for both indices between the two groups (p = 0.00). Overall satisfaction rate for the "prosthesis" group was 26.4% while for the group "without prosthesis" satisfaction rate is 80.9%. CONCLUSION: This study shows that improved oral hygiene and regular check of the RPD acrylic resin carriers become a concern for establishing a true oral health policy.

Context: Periodontal diseases are multifactorial infectious pathologies. They affect tissues of support of the tooth and so end in dental losses. No sector of society is spared. Objective: To estimate the state of periodontal health of the patients admitted in consultation in the dental services of the city of Kinshasa. Material and Methods: It is a descriptive and transverse study. It was led on patients admitted in consultations in three dental services of the city of Kinshasa during the period going from January to August, 2015. The study included patients of 12 years old and more who consulted in one of the selected dental service. The selected patients supplied sociodemographic information in particular zone of residence, gender, level of education and social level. Dutch Periodontal Screening Index (DPSI) was used to estimate the periodontal state of every patient. Results: On a total of 642 patients 374 were females and 268 were males. The mean age was of 38.12 years ± 16,303. The patients of upper or more university level and those who had no employment represented successively 58.3% and 35.5%. Dental pain was the main motive for consultation. Majority of the patients had a DPSI around 3, that is 49.1%. 99.9% of the patients presented gingivitis whereas those 64% who suffered from periodontitis were subject to specialized periodontal care. Conclusion: Periodontal disease was present in all patients. The majority of the people had consulted dental surgeons only when they had pain.

BACKGROUND: No studies on the perception of tooth loss effects in their daily lives of edentulous were performed in Congolese Bantu. OBJECTIVES: To assess the severity of the impact of edentulism on the quality of life of partially edentulous Congolese and analyze the influence of age, sex, missing teeth, the location of gaps and pairs of posterior dental occlusion in this impact. METHOD: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the University Clinics of Kinshasa (CUK) and the Centre Boyambi Army Hi Kinshasa/Gombe. One hundred and eighty one edentulous adults and non-denture wearers clinically examined were asked to complete the questionnaire OHIP 14. RESULTS: Average severity was 11.67 ± 8.74 on a scale of 0-56. Statistically missing teeth, location of gaps and pairs of posterior dental occlusion residual alter this severity. The poor quality of life was noted in patients who had lost more than 5 teeth (17.04 ± 7.26), anterior losses (17.32 ± 9.42) and less than 4 pairs of posterior occlusion (17.84 ± 6.13). Difficult chewing and concern were the most reported items. CONCLUSION: Severity of the influence of tooth loss on the daily life of Congolese people is low. All edentulous does not necessarily cause a very poor quality of life. Increasing the number of lost teeth, presence of anterior gaps and reduction of posterior occlusion pairs below 4 disrupt the quality of life of partially edentulous.

Objectif. Les auteurs rapportent les complications des cellulites d'origine dentaire au cours de la grossesse. Methodologie. L'etude a consiste en une revue des donnees des femmes enceintes ayant consulte pour cellulite d'origine dentaire aux Cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa de janvier 2006 en juin 2008. Resultats. L'etude concerne neuf parturientes. Huit d'entre elles ont developpe une cellulite diffuse; six ont presente des complications. Les complications obstetricales ont ete observees chez 4 patientes (2 avortements; 1 accouchement d'un mort-ne et 1 menace d'accouchement premature). Deux cas d'anemie; 1 cas de sepsis; 1 cas de thrombophlebite et 1 cas de fistule pharyngee ont ete rapportes. Un deces a ete enregistre. Conclusion. Les complications des cellulites d'origine dentaire au cours de la grossesse peuvent affecter soit la femme; soit le foetus ou meme les 2 ensembles. Il est important de prevenir la survenue de ces complications; par la promotion de l'hygiene et des soins bucco-dentaires au cours des consultations prenatales
