ABSTRACT

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.

ABSTRACT

The authors describe the early neglected oral communication of maxillary sinus and nasal cavity, causing reflux of liquid and sometimes solids through the nose, followed by immediate intrabuccal flow or posterior pharyngeal with fetidness. The objective of this work was to improve the therapy of immediate or delayed oral communication of maxillary sinus with nasal cavity and eventually and the quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Les auteurs rapportent le cas d'un patient de 69 ans; en rehabilitation prothetique pour edentement subtotal bilateral et biterminal. L'echec d'une premiere prothese posee en milieu non specialise; a conduit a la reprise du traitement dans le service de protheses aux cliniques universitaires de Kinshasa (CUK); avec bonne recuperation morphofonctionnelle. Cette observation illustre la carence en infrastructures et en personnel qualifie dans les soins prothetiques dans notre pays ; elle met en exergue les exigences techniques a respecter absolument pour un aboutissement satisfaisant du traitement

ABSTRACT

Une etude retrospective portant sur 3.360 dossiers relatifs aux extractions dentaires pratiquees au Centre Medico-Chirgical Militaire couvrant une periode de 5 ans; a montre que 140 cas avaient developpe une alveolite post-extractionnelle; soit 2;2 pour cent de l'ensemble. L'etude a surtout revele que les 92 pour cent d'alveolites observees etaient seches et que leur etiopathogenie serait imputable en grande partie aux bains de bouche a l'eau salee; pratiques de maniere abusive par les patients apres intervention; sur recommandation de certains praticiens. Une regression sensible de nombre d'alveolites est constatee depuis que la pratique des bains de bouche a l'eau salee a ete decommandee

ABSTRACT

Une incisive centrale permanente superieure est restee incluse jusqu'a l'age de 12 ans chez un sujet de sexe masculin. La cause en etait une retention de son homologue de lait. Une desinclusion a ete operee et obtenue avec succes grace a une traction lente au moyen d'un fil en acier de section 0;3 mm selon une technique tres simple. Cette incisive presentait egalement une dysharmonie orthodontique (rotation). Cette derniere fut corrige dans une deuxieme phase; toujours avec des moyens simples

ABSTRACT

Ayant observe qu'au sein de la population zairoise de Kinshasa; certaines personnes etaient porteuses de couronnes postiches en or sur l'une ou l'autre dent frontale; sans gene; les auteurs ont recherche des mobiles profonds de cette pratique et releve ses consequences eventuelles. Le travail repose sur 57 observations dont 41 concernaient des femmes contre 16 pour les hommes. L'examen clinique succint et les enquetes menees ont revele que: ces couronnes postiches en or sont exclusivement l'oeuvre des non chirurgiens-dentistes; les incisives laterales et canines sont des dents cibles; le but poursuivi par les porteurs de ces protheses est double (l'expression de leur fortune; l'or etant un metal precieux et brillant) et le snobisme. Les auteurs deconseillent cette pratique compte tenu de ses consequences nefastes sur l'occlusion; sur le parodonte marginal et de la responsabilite qui incombe a de telles couronnes dans l'eclosion de la carie sans oublier l'incompetence et la non-qualification des praticiens

ABSTRACT

Ce texte presente une etude menee au centre neuro-psychopathologique de Kinshasa au Zaire et concernant 98 malades des 2 sexes hospitalises qui revele que la grande majorite de ces sujets ont ont une hygiene buccale defectueuse. Outre les tartres; la carie dentaire et la gingivite qui constituent les pathologies orales les plus courantes; l'etude revele surtout une usure pathologique et inquietante des couronnes dentaires chez tous les malades : cette ablasion est imputable au bruxisme. Les auteurs estiment qu'il incombe aux psychiatres et neurologistes d'orienter periodiquement des malades mentaux vers les consultations odonto-stomatologiques
