Abstract

Introduction Bruxism is a factor that both promotes and aggravates certain oral diseases. The importance of the repercussions of bruxism shows the interest of our work which is to know the frequency and the prevalence of bruxism. The general objective of our work is therefore to contribute to the epidemiological study of bruxism in Côte d'Ivoire. Method This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of three hundred (300) patients attending the Centre de Consultation et de Traitements Odonto-Stomatologiques d'Abidjan, who underwent a questionnaire and an odonto-stomatological examination. The criterion used to diagnose bruxism was that of Dr Gilles Lavigne et al. Results Our study population consisted of 300 individuals ranging in age from 4 to 82 years, the majority of whom were women [18-40 years], with a bruxism frequency of 22.33%. Our population of bruxers was predominantly female, accounting for 59.70%. Also, the prevalence of bruxism increased with age. Conclusion In our study population, our survey reveals that the prevalence of bruxism is still significant. Practitioners must therefore be provided with the appropriate equipment for better diagnosis and patient management.

Abstract

Introduction In Abidjan, mandibular fractures are generally treated surgically in the stomatology and maxillofacial surgery department of the Hospital and University Centers (HUC) of Cocody and Treichville. They are also treated with orthopedic devices at the Dental Surgery Consultation and Treatment Center in Abidjan, within the Maxillofacial Prosthesis (PMF) section of the Clinical Prosthesis and Occlusodontics department. Are these orthopedic devices effective in the management of mandibular fractures? Do these methods achieve satisfactory results in the management of mandibular fractures? Material and methods This is a retrospective descriptive analytical study based on the evaluation of usable clinical and radiographic files of patients admitted to the maxillofacial prosthesis section of Odonto-Stomatological Consultation and Treatment Center (CCTOS) who presented fractures to the mandible. The data was processed using epi data software and the search for correlations was carried out using the khi-deux test. Results Maxillo-mandibular restraint is the most used with a rate of 85%. 83% of patients have good bone density on radiography after healing. Conclusion Orthopedic treatment of mandibular fracture could be indicated in cases of non-displaced fracture with excellent alignment or approximation of bone fragments and some easily reducible fractures. Keywords: radiographic evaluation, orthopedic procedures, mandibular fractures
